One Amazing Thing I've Done

Witnessing my friend's act of giving whatever money he had in his wallet to children selling roses in traffic was a profound lesson for me. Despite feeling a mix of emotions, I decided to follow suit. The smile on that child's face uplifted my spirits in a way I can't describe. It's a moment I cherish, reminding me of the power of generosity and its impact on the soul.

Teach, Learn, Share

I specialize in sharing the art of crafting the perfect South Indian (Hyderabadi) chicken curry right in your own kitchen. With my guidance, you'll master the blend of spices and techniques needed to create an authentic and flavorful dish that will transport your taste buds to the streets of Hyderabad. Additionally, I'll teach you how to prepare a delectable chutney alternative to the traditional coconut version typically served with dosa. Made from groundnuts and tangy tamarind, this savory accompaniment is sure to rival the classic, adding a delightful twist to your South Indian culinary repertoire.

What I Can Share With Hosts

My experiences and my time and the ability to make you feel comfortable

My Interests

I have a passion for cooking, finding joy in preparing delicious meals. When it comes to unwinding, I thrive in relaxed environments, enjoying good conversations and laughter. Uninterrupted sleep is a luxury I cherish, allowing me to recharge and take on new adventures. Despite residing in Pune for six years, I've realized that I haven't explored the city much, partly due to my "princess" tendencies. Now, fueled by curiosity and a desire to travel, I seek to venture out more, forging friendships along the way to make the most of my experiences.
