🍲 THE COOKBOOK

A curated collection of recipes from my kitchen.

**Every dish in this cookbook carries a memory—
the sound of sputtering spices, the aroma of ghee warming,
the comfort of familiar flavors.

Each recipe here carries a slice of home,
a whisper of tradition,
and a little spark of joy from my South Indian roots.

These recipes are more than instructions—
they’re moments, emotions,
and pieces of my life that I’m grateful to share with you.

Welcome to my heart on a plate.**
