Our Story

WHERE LOVE MEETS EVERY INGREDIENT

Where ancient recipes whisper through generations and the aroma of tradition fills the air, Amma's Special was born in 2013. What began as one woman's dream has blossomed into a movement of love, flavor, and belonging.
Amma's Special—a bridge between heritage and today, between distance and home, between craving and comfort.

THE VISION THAT STARTED IT ALL
Cooked by the Hands That Know Best

Our founder, Shruti Basaiwala, grew up where food was more than a meal—it was comfort, care, and connection.

Surrounded by home-cooked flavours, she learned how warmth could be served on a plate. As life moved faster and farther from home, she noticed how many missed that familiar taste. She envisioned a way to bring home-style food without the time and effort of daily cooking. Amma’s Special was created to offer quick solutions for effortless cooking rooted in tradition.

Every product carries the ease of modern life and the soul of homemade food. Because no matter where you are, home should always be within reach.

The taste of authentic, home-cooked food. The flavor of belonging. The warmth of knowing someone made this just for you.

Some foods feed the body. Ours nourish the soul.

The Values Stirred Into Everything We Create

Love as Our Secret Ingredient

We believe food is the language of love. Every product we create speaks this language fluently—carrying warmth, care, and the comfort of knowing someone genuinely cares about what reaches your plate.

Authenticity Above All

In a world of artificial flavors and quick fixes, we stand firm: real ingredients, real recipes, real taste. We source locally, respect tradition, and never compromise on what makes homemade food truly special—its soul.

Connection Beyond Commerce

You're not our customer. You're family. We're not just delivering products; we're rekindling memories, bridging distances, and bringing the warmth of home to wherever life has taken you.

Quality That Honors Trust

Nothing—absolutely nothing—leaves our hands without meeting the standards we'd demand for our own loved ones. Every jar is a promise. Every bite, a commitment kept.

Rooted in Purpose

We exist to preserve what modern life often forgets: the irreplaceable value of homemade goodness, the recipes that tell our stories, and the taste that turns a house into a home.

Our Mission

Our mission is beautifully simple: to ensure that no matter where you are, the taste of home is never out of reach. We're here to preserve grandmother's recipes before they fade. To support home chefs whose skill deserves recognition. To give you back those Sunday afternoon flavors, those festival memories, those "just like Amma used to make" moments.

We craft more than food. We create:
