Welcome to Chaitra’s Creations! My name is Chaitra. 🙂

I have always had a passion for food. I grew up in a household where my mother would make almost everything from scratch. The love and devotion she put into making each dish inspired me to try my own hand at cooking.

However, I didn’t really explore this passion until after I got married. I was excited to have my own kitchen and to make my own creations. I invite you all to join my adventures in cooking.

I aim to inspire those 20, 30 somethings who want to cook like their mothers, but have no idea where to begin… and those already expert at traditional Indian cooking, but would like to explore other styles.

My inspiration is my own mother, who is the queen of traditional South Indian cooking, and quite adept at other types of cooking as well. Some of my recipes are translations of her gold standard recipes..others are my own creations, inspired by a variety of cultures and flavors.

All of my recipes are vegetarian and I have also included a vegan option in the notes for each one.

I love coming up with creations in my own kitchen and am eager to share them with all of you! Let’s get cooking! 🙂
