Namaste! I’m Avi, the passionate home cook behind PureCurry.com. Hailing from India and now based in the U.S., I created this blog in 2016 to demystify Indian cooking for enthusiasts worldwide.
My journey began with blindly following recipes, often leading to mixed results. I realized the missing link was understanding the “why” behind each step. That’s why my recipes go beyond mere instructions – I explain the science and reasoning, empowering you to adapt confidently.
Explore my articles on essential ingredients and techniques, especially spice mastery. Once you grasp the fundamentals, Indian cuisine becomes a playground for creativity.
Don’t be intimidated by the vast array of ingredients! My goal is to simplify the process, sharing tips and tricks gleaned from family, cookbooks, and years of experimentation.
Let’s embark on this delicious journey together!
