1. Tell us something about your background and journey.

I love eating, I eat when I am in a bad mood, I eat when I am happy, and I eat when I am bored. It is like food is my best partner and I love to eat a variety of food which is when I started to search for different varieties of food and ask people about the best place to try some. 

And being a photo freak I posted a few of the food I tasted on my Instagram account and I started to get messages like "where to get that?", "which place was that?". 

That is when I realized why not I let people, like me, in constant search of eating good food know about different varieties of food at an affordable price in a peaceful ambiance. And yes, that is how it all started "The Hungri Plate".


2. What is your favorite cuisine and dish?

To talk about my favorite cuisine, it is 'Indian Cuisine'. 

The Richness of aroma and taste make it a top priority for me. It includes a variety of regional and traditional cuisines specific to various places in India which are transferred from generation to generation. 

Out of many, my favorite dishes are 'Biriyani' and 'Fish curry with rice'. The choice of Biryani I would always go for is 'Hyderabadi Dum Biryani' and when I talk about South Indian food, I can't resist myself from saying about 'Filter Coffee' which my day starts and ends with.


3. Should food blogging be just a hobby or is it a good career option?

For me, it all started as a hobby and I felt happy to interact with the same set of people like me who just love Eating and in constant search of good food. I believe in doing things that make you feel happy and satisfied. 

With the evolution of business and career options Blogging is not a good but better option. Blogging can do wonders and be a reliable source of earning if you are serious about it.


4. Which restaurants/food joints would you recommend in your area?

There are many restaurants and food spots I like but will let you a few
  1. Sukkubai biryani/ star biryani
  2. Pattukottai kamatchi mess Velachery
  3. Tea villa cafe-it is a veg cafe 
  4. Hot chips coffee 
  5. Arabian hut in phoenix is serving authentic grill and BBQ in Arabian cuisine.
  6. Bistro 1427 Velachery

5. Is there any particular food you feel deeply connected with?

I am always connected with homemade food done by mom. Starting the day with Masala Dosa and strong Filter Coffee, the best Biryani for lunch, vada, and coffee for a snack, and yes the list goes on.


6. Which is your favorite book and why?

I am not a book person, rather I’m more of a social media person and don’t have the patience to sit and read.
