I love the joy that food brings to people. Seeing someone’s face light up when they take the first bite of a dish I’ve prepared is my biggest inspiration. Cooking is not just about feeding people—it’s about creating experiences and memories.
What's your all time favorite dish to make?I love making Hyderabad dum biryani. There’s something special about the slow-cooking process, the way the flavors blend together, and the aroma that fills the kitchen. It’s a dish that requires patience and precision, but the end result is always worth it.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would love to make this a part of my investment to open a breakfast place in Bellevue, Washington. It’s been a vision of mine to create a spot where people can enjoy high-quality, flavorful breakfast dishes with a unique touch.
