Meet Lathi
Hi! I’m Lathiya Shanmugasundaram, the home cook, recipe developer, photographer, and writer behind Lathi’s Kitchen.
I’m a proud mother of two wonderful children who inspire me every day. Being a Malayali who studied and married in Tamil Nadu has given me the opportunity to experience the best of both cuisines. As a result, you’ll find a wonderful mix of authentic Kerala and South Indian recipes, along with easy everyday meals, snacks, desserts, and baking recipes.
Every recipe shared here is personally tested in my kitchen before it’s published. I believe cooking should be flexible, so feel free to adjust the spice levels and seasonings to suit your family’s taste.
Welcome to my kitchen
I’m so happy you’re here!
Lathi’s Kitchen is a place where you’ll find easy, reliable recipes made with simple ingredients. Every recipe comes with step-by-step instructions and helpful videos, making home cooking enjoyable for beginners and experienced cooks alike.
Cooking has always been a part of my life. Most of the recipes you see here are inspired by my mother’s delicious home-cooked meals that I grew up enjoying. Later, while staying with my aunt during my college years, I learned many more traditional family recipes that continue to be favorites in my kitchen today. After moving to the United States, I developed a love for baking, so you’ll also find simple cakes, cookies, breads, and other homemade baked treats on this blog.
Simple ingredients can create extraordinary meals. My recipes are designed to help you cook delicious, home-style food that’s both satisfying and easy to make.
