Every single memory of my childhood in my grandmother’s house revolves around her kitchen, the dining table or a feast for a festival. To her, feeding her community meant more than anything else. I’m incredibly grateful for having inherited her love for food and is a heritage I want to pass on to my children.

This book has a delicious combination of south Indian and North Indian recipes, that over the years my grandmom and mom tweaked to suit their family’s palate. And similarly this book is meant to be used as a guide; to experiment with the ingredients of each recipe and then to make it your own.

I hope to be part of your food journey!
