The Beginning of a Flavorful Legacy
Born in a traditional Palakkad Iyer household.
77 Years of Perfecting Every Recipe
Having lost her mother when she was just 10 years old, she entered the kitchen at the age of 12 - our beloved Iyer Paati began her culinary journey—guided by age-old recipes, love for cooking, and a deep respect for tradition.
For nearly seven plus decades, she honed each recipe with care—testing, tasting, and tweaking—turning everyday ingredients into timeless treasures. A lifetime of kitchen wisdom passed down through generations.
The IYER PAATI Goes Live on Instagram
While Gen Z may be considered as the de facto leaders of Instagram, the faith and confidence bestowed by her granddaughter, Meenakshi, encouraged Paati to believe there is space for everyone. Old is not what it was perceived to be.
Thus, with a heart full of stories, a kitchen full of flavour and the able assistance of Meenakshi, ‘The Iyer Paati’ took interest to social media to share her recipes with the world. From day-to-day recipes to age old home remedies, her videos instantly warmed hearts and homes.
300+ Recipes and Counting
Over 300 authentic, soul-satisfying dishes have been shared, and we’re just getting started! From traditional classics to hidden gems, every recipe is a tribute to Paati’s culinary brilliance.
