“Food Polambalgal” Ever tried to make upma and ended up with edible cement? Struggled flipping dosais that defy gravity? In this episode of Food Polambalgal, I vent the daily chaos of South Indian cooking — the burns, the lumps, the never-ending kitchen clean-ups — all served with a side of gratitude.

But this isn’t just about culinary blunders. It’s a heartfelt reflection on privilege: being able to grumble about imperfect idlis while knowing millions can’t afford a single meal. I share my attempt to bridge that gap — creating an app that could tackle food insecurity and offer support to those in need. Spoiler: dreams collided with reality. Funding and time were tighter than maavu in a broken grinder.

Through burnt pans and broken plans, this episode is a reminder to be grateful for what’s on our plate and to share with those who don’t have one. Tune in for equal parts laughter, empathy, and a small dose of hope. 🍽️💬
