Welcome to Spill the Chai with Ammamma

This space on The Amma’s Life is dedicated to my Amma—a highly educated powerhouse who balanced a corporate career, artistic passion, and entrepreneurial spirit with a flair for creating health-conscious, mouth watering indian dishes.

From running board meetings to whipping up innovative fusion recipes that blended tradition with modern twists, she made it all look effortless (spoiler: it wasn’t). Whether it was sneaking quinoa into biryani or turning a classic curry into a low-carb masterpiece, my mom’s kitchen experiments were as bold as her career moves.

So, brew yourself some strong chai and settle in for some heart-to-heart conversations. Here, we’re spilling more than tea—we’re spilling the truths of a life well-lived and lessons learned along the way in navigating motherhood, careerhood, and cooking with equal parts of love and chaos.
