    Cooking Tools for Everyday Indian Recipes

    Cooking at home should feel easy. I built these tools to take the guesswork out of everyday meals. Use them to get perfect rice and dal, plan a quick lunch plate, or find a curry to cook with what you have on hand.

    Lunch Menu Creator

    Not sure what to pack for lunch? This tool helps you mix and match curries, dals, and sides to build a balanced Indian lunch plate in seconds. I use it myself when I need quick ideas for weekday meals.

    Basmati Rice Water Ratio Calculator

    Rice turns out fluffy only when the water ratio is right. This calculator gives you foolproof ratios for basmati rice, quinoa, and other grains, whether on the stovetop, in the Instant Pot, or in a rice cooker. No more guesswork.

    Millet Water Ratio Calculator

    Cooking millet can be tricky without the right ratio. This tool shows you exactly how much water to use for soft or fluffy millet. I use it for recipes like millet lemon rice and millet stir-fries.

    Dal Cooking Ratio Calculator

    Different dals need different water ratios and timings. This calculator helps you cook toor dal, masoor dal, chana dal, and more perfectly every time.
