Indian Cooking, Made Easy!
Hello everyone! I am Ranjini. Wife, mother, passionate cook, traveler and an educator. I have been in the cooking profession for the last several years. I grew up in eastern India and moved to the USA about 15 years ago. Ever since I moved abroad, I always missed the foods and flavors of my hometown. Over the years I’ve learned many unique dishes from my mother and the exposure to varied cuisines from across India and the world has really fueled my passion for cooking and creating something unique and mouth-watering. I love to cook for my family and friends and have always received many compliments and encouragement to take this to the next level. I’m grateful to my family for always encouraging me to be a better version of myself. With my family’s recipes and my knowledge, I would love to bring my passion to the world, and I sincerely hope you will enjoy them every bit as much as I did, preparing them.
Indian food is meant to be enjoyed by everyone. Diverse Indian dishes are great for people seeking vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, heart-healthy, and diabetes-friendly meals. With 15 years of experience cooking skill, Chef Ranjini will help you personalize any meal to fit your diet, preferences, and spice tolerance.
