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.

Phirni with touch of gold
There is no a.k.a to this sweet one! I hesitantly translate the Phirni into “ Rice Pudding “ and often reluctantly to do so. It’s like calling Rolls Royce just a car or
Hyderabadi Kurma
"Kurma" like most Hyderabadis call it is a traditional way to make "Korma" but with slight variations and techniques.
