About Me

I am Anjali Chaurasiya, a pharmaceutical management graduate from India who found her passion and inner calling in healthy and vegetarian indian cooking. The journey of Koch Dich Indisch began with me in the heartland of India – Madhya Pradesh, where I grew up surrounded by traditional Indian foods and flavours and was always fascinated with the process of cooking. I helped my mom, aunts, and grandma early on in the kitchen which allowed for first-hand experience of traditional Indian food and its various cooking techniques. Due to my father’s job we moved to new regions every few years. This meant a deep-dive into Indian food culture all over the country!

This continued during my higher studies from National Institute of pharmacy where my batch mates, who had come from different parts of India, inspired me to experiment with foods from different regions and palates of India. My life in Germany with my husband and a little one, gave me a wonderful opportunity to experiment and combine Indian food with German and other International flavours. After living in Germany for more than a decade now, I love to explore, experiment and customize traditional indian recipes as per the locally sourced fresh german produce. Being a pharmacist and a huge Ayurveda enthusiast myself, I love to apply my scientific knowledge to my recipes, thus enhancing their nutritional profile.
