From Seattle to our new Texas home, the humid air, oaks, and dusty roads remind me of Karaikudi. Since tying my first apron in Thanjavur in 2002, my dream has been to share the soul of Chettinad cuisine with the world.Born from the travels of 19th–20th century Chettiar merchants, our food carries echoes of Burma, Ceylon, Vietnam, and Malaysia—spices and stories traded across oceans.
