About
Bright, plant-forward Tamil food — molagootal, kootu, fermented dosas and filter-coffee endings. Everything I cook is vegetarian, much of it vegan and Jain-friendly, and I love teaching it.

FAQ
Are all dishes vegan?
Most can be — I clearly mark what contains ghee or dairy and offer vegan swaps for everything.
Can you cook Jain (no onion, garlic, root veg)?
Yes, I do fully Jain menus regularly.
Do you teach beginners?
Especially beginners — fermentation feels like magic once it clicks.
