About Chaaiwalli
A journey from the tea gardens of Assam to the multicultural kitchens of London, sharing authentic flavors and timeless traditions.
My Story
Hi, I'm Sukanya, and I'm passionate about bringing the authentic flavors of Northeast India to kitchens around the world. Born and raised in Assam, I grew up surrounded by the rich culinary traditions of my grandmother's kitchen, where every meal was a celebration of local ingredients and time-honored techniques.
When I moved to London, I found myself missing not just the flavors of home, but the stories and traditions that came with them. That's when Chaaiwalli was born – as a way to share these precious recipes and the culture they represent with a wider audience.
What started as a personal blog documenting family recipes has grown into a platform for authentic Indian cooking, premium tea and spice sourcing, and cultural storytelling. Every recipe I share has been tested in my own kitchen and carries with it the warmth of home.
