Behind every dish at Athamma’s Kitchen lies a heartfelt story of love and care from Surekha Garu. Recognizing the profound connection her family and friends had with the flavors of home, especially when miles away on travels, Surekha Garu mastered the art of preparing traditional, travel-friendly meals. Her cooking was not just sustenance but a soothing balm for the homesick soul, a warm reminder of the laughter-filled kitchens back at home.

Chiranjeevi Garu, spending over 200 days a year on film sets, was the inspiration behind these nourishing creations. Surekha Garu made sure he never missed a taste of home, packing him meals that brought comfort and a slice of the Konidela home, wherever he was. These meals are now shared with you, capturing the essence of our family’s love and tradition, one dish at a time.
