Seeing my work featured in publications like UpperCrust Magazine and even a French TV documentary has been a wonderful reminder that when you stay true to your roots and your Aai's recipes, people genuinely notice and care. It has been an incredible journey taking my spice box from my kitchen in Santacruz to different cities and even across borders to Japan. Every article, like the feature in Mid-day about my Kolhapuri chicken pie or the piece on Her Circle, has been a conversation starter about why regional Indian food is so special. I do not cook to win awards, but being named one of the '25 Happening Home Chefs' by UpperCrust Magazine definitely gives me a little boost of pride! It validates what I believe: that people are hungry for 'ghar ka khana'—honest, authentic meals that tell a story. Whether it is the Safari Murg I developed or the traditional Pandra Rassa, my goal remains the same. I want to break the stereotype that our food is only about that heavy, oily spice level you find in restaurants. If you are planning an event, a pop-up, or just want to learn the art of 'vatan' and 'tari' in my kitchen, these features are just a glimpse into the passion I bring to every plate. I am always open to chatting about how we can bring authentic Maharashtrian flavours to your next gathering, whether it is a small home dinner or a large-scale event. ## About Every Aroma Hi, I am Reshma. I never expected my Aai's simple recipes to end up in documentaries or newspapers, but here we are! My kitchen is my happy place, and I am just here to make sure you taste the real, honest flavours of Kolhapur, one meal at a time.
