Raised in a modest, multicultural and multiregional family, I had spent most of my early years with mom and aunt in their kitchen where she was regularly cooking different Indian delicacies. Very soon I started to help her with chores around the kitchen and was amazed to see different techniques of cooking and spices used. I learned how food can narrate a story and convey the cultural ideas, as well as how it brings people together. This reflected my dedication to nourishing food as well as heritage.
Growing up I was also watching people cook on cooking shows that came up on TV and those cooking shows made me more interested because I was learning more about food that I didn’t know.
Also thank you to my sister who has always been my guinea pig for all my trials and experiments.
As time passed, I began to receive requests from friends to cater their events and special occasions. I just felt it was the right time to take up “URBAN INDIAN” and grow it-An inherited skills passed to generations and most importantly follow my passion as my profession. Cooking always made me happy, that’s when I decided to follow my passion, though an engineering graduate, I decided my passion as my future.
