it's a native food

My grandmother, descended from Avvaiyar's lineage, taught me to prepare traditional rice cakes before smartphones existed. Now, sharing her methods online, strangers send coins—unexpected income supporting our village kitchen. She'd laugh seeing her ancient recipes preserved digitally, protected from forgetting. Each video documents our heritage, earning enough to buy better ingredients, to teach younger cousins who'd otherwise never learn. My followers call it ingenious. I call it necessary. When tradition meets technology, something magical happens—our ancestors' wisdom survives, thrives, and feeds families across distances we never imagined.
