Our Story : The Journey Behind Tutu-Me
It took him back to his childhood summers in Kerala — days filled with cricket, sunshine, and endless munching. His grandmother and great-grandmother kept the kitchen stocked with golden banana and jackfruit chips, fried fresh at home. He’d play a round, run in sweaty, grab a handful, and repeat. Life was simple, crunchy, and delicious.
So when it came to Tutu, Sid thought: why shouldn’t she have that too? That’s when the whole family stepped in. Three generations — Sid, his parents, and his grandmother — began right at their ancestral home, handpicking the best bananas and coconut oil for chips. From there, they worked closely with local natives across Kerala to ensure only the finest ingredients made it in. Meanwhile, Sid’s mother Latha (fondly called as Paati by Tutu) brought her 40+ years of cooking wisdom to the kitchen. With over 200,000 dosas flipped in her lifetime, her expertise shaped every chip, masala, and premix we sell today.
What started as a batch just for Tutu and her Appa quickly won over friends and family — and that’s how Tutu-Me! was born.
In fact, Latha had already founded South 2 Mouth in 2020, building a loyal base for her masalas and premixes. But because Tutu is our North Star, even those products are now gradually being brought under the Tutu-Me! umbrella. Today, our family’s cultural mix inspires everything we do. It’s why our Kerala Nendran banana chips come not just in their classic form, but also in flavors as diverse as Schezwan, Green Pepper, Tomato, Peri Peri, and North Indian–inspired Achari.
