Throughout the trailer, Tarla expresses her desire to accomplish “something” in her life but struggles to find her true passion.
After more than a decade of marriage and becoming a mother, Tarla discovers her love for cooking.

In 2007, she became the first Indian to receive a Padma Shri, a prestigious award recognizing her culinary skills. Her “desi Nuskhe” (home remedies) are still widely discussed in Indian households and are often credited with revolutionizing vegetarian cuisine in India.
