About PunjabiCooking101.com
PunjabiCooking101.com is a home for Punjabi recipes, cooking lessons, and kitchen stories from a Punjabi‑Canadian perspective. I’m building this site as a place where you can find clear, tested recipes and practical guidance for cooking Punjabi food in a modern, real‑life kitchen.
I’m Raj Thandhi, a recipe developer, culinary consultant, and food and culture writer. I’ve spent years developing recipes for grocery retailers and brands, writing about food and diaspora life, and listening to how Punjabi families actually cook, shop, and stretch meals at home. This site brings that work together in one focused place: Punjabi food you can actually cook, not just bookmark.
Over the coming months, you’ll start to see:
- Step‑by‑step Punjabi recipes with techniques explained
- Guides to essential ingredients, substitutions, and pantry building
- Weeknight‑friendly menu ideas and special‑occasion spreads you can plan ahead for
- Stories and notes on Punjabi food history and diaspora kitchen life
While I’m still building, I’m already sharing weekly recipes, essays, and behind‑the‑scenes notes in my newsletter. If you’d like to be the first to know when new recipes and guides go live here, you can join me there:
