When the lockdown put us under house arrest us in Mumbai, many senior citizens decided to put their culinary and entrepreneurial skills to good use with home delivery menus. In May, we wrote about Mommy's Kitchen run by 67-year-old Pratibha Kanoi who crafts delicious restaurant-style pizzas and pastas.

This time, we present Aai's Kitchen run by 63-year-old Nirmala Hegde and her son, Gautam. What began as a friendly suggestion by neighbours in their building, to sell evening snacks grew into a full-fledged menu with hot sellers like batata wada and chutney, chicken Patiala, Goan prawn curry, mushroom pulao and chicken Karwari.
