The founder — Chef Sakshi Ahluwalia

Sakshi Ahluwalia is the Saakshi in Saakshi's Kitchen: a self-taught Indian home chef whose recipes have served 153,000+ meals across more than 800 UK towns and cities. No culinary school — she learned in a Delhi family kitchen at her mother's and grandmother's side. Her story writes itself: the quiet queen of Indian home cooking in Britain.

“There is no Michelin star for the food of Indian homes. So I collect the stars they don't give out.” — Chef Sakshi Ahluwalia

Boilerplate

Saakshi's Kitchen delivers home-cooked Indian meals across UK mainland from one FSA 5-star family kitchen in Brighton. Every dish is cooked the way an Indian family cooks at home — the masala built from scratch each batch — then frozen and delivered, ready to reheat. The menu is the everyday repertoire of an Indian household: dal, rajma, chole, kadhi, seasonal sabzi, with vegetarian options throughout; kitchen-cooked meats are halal. saakshis.com
