Paati preparing mango sambar

Meet Nilah’s Paati, who has a story to share with everyone in town.

Paati sits with a bowl of raw mangoes by her side. She slices each piece carefully, the sharp tang filling the air and making Nilah wrinkle her nose. “That’s how you know it’s good,” Paati says with a smile, wiping her knife on the edge of her saree.

She drops the mango pieces into the pot, already imagining the sambar simmering slowly on the stove, sour, spicy, and just right. As she works, she hums an old tune, the kind that has followed her through many kitchens and many seasons.

Handcrafted with love by women of The Nilgiris, Paati is made from soft, upcycled fabrics and safe, child-friendly materials.
