One legendary recipe. And a conversation that will stay with you long after the biryani is gone.

We sat down with the man behind one of Telugu food YouTube's most beloved channels FOOD ON FARM Babai - right at the farmhouse, with a smoking kadai between us and no script in sight. What started as cooking turned into something far more profound.and for the very first time, the world gets to know his real name: Venkatesh Murala garu. Known to millions simply as Babai.

From a ₹6,000 first salary to a farmhouse that floods and rises again - Babai's journey is not a reel. It's real. He left home as a boy, cooked in dhabas and five-star kitchens alike, built businesses, lost money to people he trusted, and still found a way to stand tall. When his son Sai Teja handed him a camera during COVID and said "Babai, let's try this" - neither of them knew they were about to change their family's destiny forever.

In this episode:

  • The secret behind White Mutton Biryani - why it hits different 

  • The difference between biryani and pulav that most people get wrong

  • How a Raggi Mudda Natukodi Pulusu video put them on the map

  • The floods of 2023 that wiped out the entire farmhouse - and what came next

  • Babai on life, family, faith, and what it means to be happy

  • Antakshari with the full team 🎶 and a tasting session you won't forget

Babai isn't just a cook. He's a storyteller who seasons life with resilience.

This is not just a food video. This is a masterclass in getting up every time life knocks you down served with two kilos of mutton biryani and a whole lot of heart.
