about the chef
Food is really an emotion for me! growing up, there are so many memories we have created across dining tables. Moving to Mumbai to build start-ups in health-tech quickly made me realise that access to the food that I grew up eating with all that emotion is no longer a viable option.
It all started with me hijacking my home kitchen to make the most famous regional snack of kerala - the banana chips. Since then, I'm on a mission to make the best banana chips in the world- not the banana chips that you get from stores in Kerala, but the ones that are made at homes by grandparents for their kins in Kerala. And I want the world to taste it!
