My Profile

Hi everyone!

The stamina of a camel, the strength of an elephant, and the beauty of a horse are all sustained on a vegetarian diet.

- A wonderful quote seen on the wall of Ananda Bhavan, Singapore 

I love cooking. Whether its everyday (Indian) food, Pasta, Mexican dishes, and even baking, the wonders of trying new food, and of mixing techniques from around the world, never fail to keep me experimenting. Looking through cookbooks, following TV shows, and just trying to conjure up the best food keep me occupied for alot of my time. And now I want to share my fascination for food with other people. As I teach people little tricks I use, I learn, and can make my cooking better, so that I can make you a better chef. 

My recipes are for the people who enjoy making and eating healthy vegetarian food.
I try to use ingredients which are generally available outside of India. Most of the recipes are easy to understand with less oil and sugar than the traditional recipes.

The important thing in cooking is to use fresh ingredients and proper utensils. Of course love of cooking too! I started cooking after I got married and went to Japan. I used to see my mom and grandma to cook and sometimes used to help them when they are making some special food during festivals. I learned making round and soft chapati/roti from mother in law.
I used to teach my friends Indian cooking in Japan. They were very interested in my food and my culture. I then started cooking class properly, with NikiKitchen.com.

After coming to Singapore, my Japanese friends in Singapore became interested in my classes, and so I started classes in Singapore. I can teach cooking in Japanese and English too.

I hope you will like my recipes and you will cook and enjoy food with your family and friends!

My daughter has got first prize in Dessert Making Competition in July 2013 at Vivocity, Singapore. It was organised by Parent World Magazine for 9 to 12 years olds. She made a dessert called Sandesh, a delicious soft sweet made from home-made Cottage Cheese.
