What would your dream food community look like?
A table full of strangers who feel like home?
A place to cook, swap stories, share seeds—or cool local finds?
Would there be a potluck? A recipe circle? A quiet memory, retold?
Tell me—what would make it matter to you?

Hello you. This is something close to my heart.

We’re running a super quick Survey to understand how millets are impacting lives, and I’d love for you to share your thoughts. Also, please share widely!

Back here after a while, what did I miss?

[Khaana Chahiye Foundation (KCF) @khaanachahiye]

Fun fact, @ChefTZac played a pivotal role during the 2021 lockdown, helping us raise funds for the kitchen by selling granola online! We cherish these memories that remind us of the incredible impact we can create together.

We cannot express enough how grateful we are to Chef Thomas and the wonderful team at @TheLocavoreIn for their unwavering support and compassion 💚

[Khaana Chahiye Foundation (KCF) @khaanachahiye]

Thanks to their support, we successfully completed much-needed improvements, including a fresh paint job, the acquisition of three large storage containers, a water cooler, and an industrial-sized exhaust fan. These enhancements have significantly enhanced our functionality.

A few weeks ago, the incredibly kind folks at @TheLocavoreIn visited our community kitchen in Kurla and later ran a remarkable campaign called #DoingGoodEveryDay! (remember, they sent out 50 baskets full of goodies to the top bidders!✨)

If there's one street food that's synonymous with Odisha, it's Dahi Bara Aloo Dum, yet you seldom hear about this iconic Odia dish outside the state. While it’s available in all over Odisha, the original version can be found in the city of Cuttack.
