Good food comes from the heart
Amma's Kitchen started with a notebook of handwritten recipes: the saaru, palyas and holige our mothers made without measuring anything.
Every recipe here is cooked, tested and photographed in a home kitchen, with measurements you can actually follow.
Made with love
Recipes from real family kitchens, not a test lab.
Simple and wholesome
Everyday ingredients you'll find at your local store.
For every cook
Clear steps for beginners, shortcuts for busy families.
Tested and trusted
Each recipe is cooked at least twice before it's published.
A kitchen table, not a studio
We're a small team of home cooks, writers and one very patient taste-tester. Between us we cover coastal Mangaluru, Old Mysuru, and North Karnataka's jowar belt.
We also publish recipes from readers. If your family has a dish worth sharing, we'll test it and put your name on it.

What Amma's Kitchen stands for
At Amma's Kitchen we write down home recipes properly before they are lost. Every recipe here is cooked, tested and photographed in a home kitchen, with measurements you can actually follow.
We cover the food of the whole state, from Bengaluru breakfasts to coastal ghee roasts, and we publish recipes sent in by readers. If your family has a dish worth sharing, get in touch.
