About Sarat

I grew up in a kitchen filled with the scent of toasted cumin and slow-simmering gravies. My passion for Indian cuisine started at my mother’s side, where I learned that the secret to a perfect biryani isn't just the recipe—it’s the patience of the 'dum' process. After years of perfecting these family traditions, I’m excited to share the soulful, authentic techniques that make Indian food so much more than just a meal.
