Behind the recipes

A selection of recipes, travel guides to some of my favourite restaurants along with tips and tricks to elevate your cooking.

Growing up in India and now calling Sydney home, my cooking style weaves together a treasured knowledge of spices with the joy of discovering and reimagining new dishes in my kitchen.

From quick curries layered with flavour, simple weeknight meals, sides and dips, to spice-filled baking, my recipes are quick, fresh and easy to recreate at home. Follow along and fall in love with cooking, and you’ll slowly realise that everything really is, better with spice.
