    Hi, I'm Shweta!

    I've been learning how to cook Indian food since I was a young girl in the kitchen with my mom. I'm currently living in Phoenix, AZ. I’m a full time tech consultant who also enjoys eating out at restaurants, discovering and supporting small business, and cozying up with a cup of chai.
