For those seasoned home chefs cloud kitchen opens a world of new opportunities which would otherwise, would have never been available. Opportunity presented itself in the form of demand for “Onam Sadhya” in 2021, when the restaurants remained shut and the demand for a sumptuous sadhya was huge.

 

This demand  later got extended in the form of “pothichoru” or home made meals. Home bakers too joined the bandwagon and made their presence felt.
