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.
