Cindhura Reddy, the chef and co-owner of Spuntino on West 32nd Avenue in Highland, grew up in Cleveland, where South Indian food was always on her family’s table. “My parents moved here from Hyderabad [now in Telangana, formerly Andhra Pradesh] when they were in their 20s,” she says, “and when I was growing up, we sponsored a couple of aunts and uncles that would come live with us. Cooking was a full family endeavor.”
