Puja’s love for food is deeply rooted in her childhood in Rajasthan, where she grew up surrounded by bold spices, rich traditions, and the ancient millets that had nourished generations before her.

A few years back, she was diagnosed with celiac disease and dairy intolerance, which led her to rediscover the power of millets. Instead of feeling restricted, she saw it as an opportunity—to reimagine these humble grains for the modern kitchen. From crispy dosas to comforting risottos, dumplings, and pasta, she has transformed millets into everyday favorites while keeping flavors bold and exciting.

In her classes, Puja brings warmth, passion, and a deep knowledge of spices and ingredients, making gluten-free cooking effortless, delicious, and fun!
