I was born at Trichy (Thandalaiputhur village) in 1991, June 4. My dad was a farmer. I studied Hotel Management and Catering technology in 2006.

I start my career in ITC groups of hotels and my work was in continental cuisine, but I was more interested in Chettinadu Cuisine.

Because my grandma Mrs. Chithiraipillai Dhanalaxmi used to cook traditional Chettinadu style curries, fish and meat.

She was an expert in preparing a special dish called 'Kali' from cereals like kambu, thinai and solam, Sweets like 'Pathaneer Halwa', 'Pathaneer Payasam', 'Elanir Halwa', 'Elanir Payasam' formed part of the regular food in our areas like Trichy and Namakkal as palm trees and coconut trees were available.

Those foods were really healthy and that impressed me to do more research.
