Beyond the ingredients and instructions, every cherished recipe holds something more: a memory, a tradition, a connection to the hands that first made it. It’s the secret to your grandmother’s kheer, the exact spice blend for your father’s mutton curry, the festive pulao that tastes like home.

Just as our new series, The Weekend Chicken Curry, uncovers the culinary gems of India, we believe the most precious recipes are often the ones passed down in our own families.

It's time to share your story.

We are thrilled to launch The Heirloom Plate Project — a Vikhroli Cucina initiative to celebrate you and your culinary legacy. We want to create a living archive of family stories, told through the universal language of food.

We invite you to share:

• The Recipe: The dish that defines a memory or a celebration in your family.
• The Story: Who did this recipe come from? What makes it so special? Is it tied to a specific occasion, a place, or a person? Tell us its history.
• The Photograph: Share a beautiful photo of the finished dish. Bonus points if you have a picture of the original handwritten recipe or the person who passed it down to you!
