Annapoorani tells the tale of an aspiring chef who dreams of pursuing a degree in hotel management and becoming a corporate chef like her idol, Chef Anand Sundarajan. Her family comes from a Brahmin lineage devoted to serving at the Srirangam temple, where her father prepares the food offered to devotees.
Being from a Brahmin family, they strictly follow a vegetarian lifestyle. Because of the same, her father refuses to enroll her in a hotel management course, fearing she would have to handle meat.
Despite her father’s objections, Annapoorani remains determined to chase her dreams. She tricks her family into thinking she has given up, and later runs away with her friend to Chennai.
As she strives to become a professional chef, she catches the attention and envy of Anand’s son Ashwin, who sabotages her by staging an oven accident. The accident leaves her with Ageusia, a condition that completely destroys her sense of taste.
The rest of the film explores how Annapoorani overcomes this major setback and reclaims her dream of becoming a chef.
