AN ARAMSAY EXPERIENCE FROM RUCHIKALA: DINNER FOR 10

Ruchikala’s dining popup “Aramsay” is a celebration of community through food. Against the backdrop of complex layered spice-laden foods - the popup dinners are a love letter to family and community through multi-sensory pleasures.

Chef Kusuma Rao tells the story of identity, and cultural exchange, through a culinary experience. Aramsay is an immersive coursed dinner party where attendees can learn about spices, culinary techniques, and the stories that inspire the food.

Ruchikala is a culinary venture that was started in the Sonoran Desert in 2010 by Kusuma Rao (They/Them). In Sanskrit Ruchikala loosely translates to “Art of Taste” The culinary creations Kusuma creates are often heavily entrenched in Sonoran Mexican and South Indian roots - a blending of ancestral family food tradition and a deep love of the adopted landscape and community that raised them.
