About

Hello, I’m Asha

I live in Kerala with my husband, our son, who is six, and our daughter, who is two. Rice and lentils are on our table almost every day, with greens, a little coconut and whatever is cheap at the market. My daughter eats with her hands, and I let her.

I started writing down what I cook because friends kept asking how I feed four people without spending much. Everything I post is an ordinary meal from my own kitchen. What I sell is the printable part: recipe cards, a meal planner, a tiffin guide and short video courses for planning the week.
