About Me – Tales and Tiffins by Dadi

Namaste! 🤗

Welcome to Tales and Tiffins by Dadi — a cozy corner where every recipe tells a story and every bite feels like home. I’m the voice behind these tales, the hands that stir the kadhai, and the heart that believes in cooking with love. Here, you’ll meet my little team: Chotu and Chutki, my mischievous grandkids, and Coopie, our golden‑hearted golden retriever who never misses a snack time. Growing up, the kitchen was always the warmest place in the house — not just because of the stove, but because of the love that simmered there. Today, I want to recreate that magic for you with recipes that are oil‑free, kid‑friendly, and rooted in tradition. You’ll find little slices of life from our kitchen, wholesome recipes for breakfast, snacks, lunch, and desserts, and simple kitchen tricks passed down through generations. For me, food should be simple, soulful, and shared. It should make you smile even before the first bite, whether it’s the aroma of fresh poha on a sleepy morning or the crunch of a peanut tikki on a winter afternoon. So pull up a chair, grab a plate, and join me in celebrating the joy of cooking without excess oil but with plenty of love. 💛
