Unlock All 99 RecipesWhat Makes This Different
Six things worth knowing before you open the book.
Great for beginners
“Honestly, this is pretty useful if you live alone. I usually end up ordering food because I don't know what to cook. The recipes are simple and the cost breakdown is actually helpful.”
Simple recipes
“I liked that the recipes don't need a huge list of ingredients. The beginner tips are a nice touch too. Tried making the aloo paratha and it came out much better than I expected.”
Perfect on a budget
“The ₹20 meals section is probably my favourite part. As a student, I'm always looking for something cheap and easy to make. For ₹99, I think the cookbook is worth it.”
Saved me from ordering
“Bought this mainly because I was spending way too much on Swiggy. The recipes are easy to understand and the step-by-step format makes cooking less intimidating.”
Very beginner friendly
“I’m not someone who cooks regularly, so I wanted something simple. This book has a good mix of everyday Indian food and the instructions are easy enough to follow. Good value for ₹99.”
Love the cost breakdown
“Really liked the cost breakdown on each recipe. Usually recipes just tell you what ingredients to use, but here you can actually see roughly how much the meal costs. Very practical.”
