Head ChefMy blog, originally focused on millet recipes, started as a personal project for Niranjana and Devesh, who recently began their new life in Himachal. However, I soon realized that many young individuals, chasing their dreams, could benefit from this knowledge. That's when I decided to share it with a wider audience. While I begin with millets, I plan to expand the blog to include other traditional recipes, inspired by the dishes my grandmother and mother used to make. I invite you to share your own recipes, and together, we can build a rich resource for those looking to reconnect with traditional cooking.
