Why Our Kitchen?
Three principles that guide every recipe, every product, every blog post we create.
100% Vegetarian
Every single recipe on this website is vegetarian. No compromises, no exceptions — just pure, plant-based goodness.
Sattvik – No Onion, No Garlic
We follow the Sattvik cooking tradition. Without onion and garlic, we discover the true flavour of spices, herbs, and fresh produce.
Made with Love
We are kids who genuinely love cooking. Every recipe is tested multiple times, every word written from real experience in the kitchen.
Featured Recipes
Our most-loved Sattvik recipes, tested and approved.
Mozzarella and Potato Bites
Golden roasted potato cups loaded with homemade tomato sauce and gooey melted mozzarella — a fun, cheesy evening snack that kids absolutely love. No onion, no garlic, just pure Sattvik deliciousness.
Aloo Gobi
A comforting dry curry with golden potatoes and tender cauliflower, seasoned with warming spices. This Jain-style recipe skips onion and garlic without losing any flavour.
Paneer Butter Masala (Jain)
Rich, creamy, and deeply flavourful — this Jain version of the beloved paneer butter masala uses only tomatoes and cashews for the gravy, with zero onion or garlic.
Kanda-Less Poha
Light, fluffy flattened rice with peanuts, curry leaves, and a squeeze of fresh lemon. Our quick no-fuss breakfast that Subal and Keshav love making on school mornings.
Soft Dhokla
Fluffy, tangy, and steamed to perfection — this Gujarati snack is naturally fermented, oil-light, and utterly moreish. A teatime favourite at Subal and Keshav's table.
