What inspired you to start Kay's Curries?
Kay's Curries was born from a personal need. Founder Kalpana Kethineedi was working long hours and couldn't find healthy, authentic Indian food that fit her dietary needs. Takeout wasn't cutting it. She started making her mother'srecipes in a format anyone could cook at home — and Kay's Curries was born.Read Kalpana's full story here: kayscurries.com/pages/about-kalpana
