Hi I'm Chaheti! I started creating content in the beginning of 2021 as a creative outlet to have outside of my 9-to-5 where I could share food, stories, and my culture.
While developing recipes and videos is creatively fulfilling for me, my main goal is always that my content can provide some value to you -- like introducing a lesser-known regional recipe, showing how I use my upbringing as a third-culture-kid to create fusion dishes at home, addressing misconceptions around desi food, or even a tutorial on how to eat with your hands.
So welcome! And I hope you enjoy your stayđ«°đœ
p.s. since starting, Iâd been focusing on building my TT / IG and my other full-time job, so Iâm a bit behind on YT, but bear with me as I learn & try some long-form content soon too :)

Most people that eat bread with egg in the morning aren't doing that because they think it's a good healthy meal.... They're doing it because it's fast and nowadays mostt people don't have the time for 3 cooked meals a day. How out of touch is this?
