Welcome to my Homestyle Indian cooking! These recipes are rooted in my family's culinary practices and are typically prepared with readily available, seasonal ingredients and time-honored techniques passed down through generations. From hearty dals (lentils) and fragrant curries to aromatic rice dishes and fresh-made flatbreads, homestyle Indian cuisine offers a comforting and authentic taste of my North Indian culture, bringing warmth and spice to everyday meals.
Born and raised in northern India, Vaishali grew up watching her mother cook everything from scratch in the small town they lived in. Her passion for cooking grew and she started cooking more when her little family moved to the US. She works at K State as a faculty in climate and water resources management. Outside of academia, she blogs about her adventures in the kitchen at www.kitchendocs.com and loves spending time in the kitchen cooking and whipping up new recipes.
