Hi, I’m Santhiya Balaguru
A passionate food lover from Madurai. My journey with food started from a young age, and I’ve always been eager to try new dishes. After completing my education, I worked in the IT industry in Chennai. There, I indulged in exploring various cuisines and shared my reviews with friends and family. This love for food eventually led me to experiment with cooking restaurant-style dishes at home.
Before marriage, I managed to whip up some delicious meals, but things changed after I got married. I found myself struggling to cook daily homemade food. Deciding what to cook and how to make it easy and time-efficient became a challenge. That’s when the idea of having a cooking partner was born. I realized that just like me, many others need a non-judgmental, supportive guide in the kitchen.
So, I started this blog to be your cooking partner in your daily life. My recipes are simple, easy to make, and perfect for working women and bachelors who crave tasty and varied food without the fear of complicated ingredients and processes. Don’t worry, even beginners can follow my recipes!
The big question often is, “What to cook today?” I’ve made it easy for you to choose from my list of daily recipes. My focus is on saving time while ensuring nutritional benefits for your kids and family. I have personally categorized the recipes from curry to breakfast, lunch, tiffin box ideas, baby foods, and premixes, keeping in mind the morning rush.
As a working woman with school-going kids and an office-going husband, I understand the daily struggle. That’s why I decided to be a cooking partner for women and girls like me. Let’s make cooking simple, enjoyable, and fulfilling together!
My goal is to offer straightforward, simple-to-follow recipes that are wholesome and actually taste good.
