I served them pure fresh, homely food, following proper covid protocols. I made healthy dishes for their speedy recovery." That was the time when her tiffin service got popular in Greater Noida. Nandini served her meals with accompaniments like tea or buttermilk as per the preference of the patients. After their isolation period, people continued giving her orders.
Being from Maharashtra, Nandini's recipes of misal pav, Bombay Wada pav, Pooranpoli, Chiwda, chakli, Chirote are special over Delhi and especially her modaks.

Nandini feels grateful for the support of her family. Her son and daughter help her deliver the food to nearby societies.
