   Her signature coconut laddus — made with fresh coconut, ghee, and jaggery — have been her way of welcoming guests, celebrating festivals, and comforting her children for over four decades.

   Born and brought up in Chennai, she resided for a while in Andhra Pradesh and now settled in Nagpur, Rama ji carried her culinary roots with her wherever she went. Her coconut laddus became legendary within her community — soft, fragrant, and made with patience that only a grandmother can offer.
