Slide Smita' s Cookery SHOP NOW Meet Smita Chutke:
Banker, Biomedical engineer, Chef, and winner of Netflix Series: Cook at All Costs!! Smita's journey of awareness building began over twenty years ago. After witnessing firsthand misrepresentation and cultural appropriation of Indian Cuisine with phrases such as "turmeric latte", “Curry” and colonized spice blend "Curry Powder" she needed to bring clarity to the concept of Indian cuisine and the proper use of flavor from the “land of spice”.
Taking cues from the terroir-inspired concept, she introduces authentic Indian flavors into local produce & proteins. This approachable method allows Smita to address many Western misconceptions around “Indian food”- “Spice vs Spicy”.

What are Smita’s Spice blends?

Smita’s Spice blends are based on generational knowledge of passed down family recipes from India that are not found in any commercial space.  As a Biomedical engineer, Smita has beautifully merged her aptitude for experimentation.

Most commercial spice blends contain fillers, sodium, artificial ingredients and are many times disproportionate resulting in underwhelming or overwhelming flavor. You may see two different garam masala  in the market but can taste different due to the difference in proportion of spices. Smita’s blends are formulated after decades of research and development from authentic recipes from family into well balanced seasonings that enhance the natural flavors of fresh and cooked ingredient making your life easier and food more appetizing – all with one teaspoon.

How to use Smita’s Spice blends?

Just a teaspoon will elevate everything you create!

Fun Online Class!

Thuy Dan T.,San Gabriel, CA

This was a really fun virtual event – my first cooking one! Smita picked the perfect recipe for us to follow along with and going with quarantine, had great ingredients of things most common in our cupboards right now and having a lot of suggestions for substitutions for everyone's needs. I had a lot of fun following along while I was cooking and the food was amazing!

Great online session!

Nikki G., Buffalo, NY

This was a great session. I never thought I would be able to cook Indian food. Low and behold, I can! The end result of Indian flatbread and curry was delicious, and you use ingredients everyone usually has on hand, and it isn't difficult. I liked that Smita learned how to cook from her grandmothers. I also love how Smita started doing cooking socials to meet friends!

Loved her flair for cooking...

Stacie B., Indianapolis, IN

The end result food was delicious and definitely something we would try again! I loved her flair for food and desire to encourage people along in their skills. It was obvious she knew how to cook and had the 'feel' of cooking in her bones! I liked the variety she encouraged and he the recipe could be adapted based on multiple things one might have in the kitchen.
