We decided to launch “Dadiamma”, my mother’s brand of homemade, preservative-free jams and jellies made from jaggery. As I write this piece, my children and their grandmother are busy putting stickers on the jam bottles.

For my mother and me, Tingle Your Taste Buds is our way of preserving and passing on Indian culinary art to food connoisseurs around the world. 

We know that many women have been inspired and empowered by their mothers OR mothers-in-law (or the other way around) to make a difference in the world, especially through their career or business. So tell us your story!

My journey was tough but that is what made it interesting. I decided not to allow anyone to push me down, not cancer, not people nor the situation.
