About Thinnu

Thinnu is a recipes-first community platform built to be the most comprehensive, genuinely-sourced record of Karnataka cuisine. Every recipe comes from someone who actually cooks it.

Why we started

Karnataka's food is astonishingly diverse, yet most of it lives only in family kitchens and fading memories. Thinnu began with a small set of founding contributors across the state, determined to capture these recipes exactly as they are made at home — no dilution, no guesswork.

What we are building

A friction-free home for regional recipes, where a first-time visitor is one click away from cooking. Filterable by district and course, enriched by a growing knowledge library, and powered by contributors from every nook and corner of Karnataka.
