Is this for you?
- Your Saturday Navaratri kolam is ready by 6am, but the prasadam isn't.
- Your parents observe no-onion-no-garlic on Ekadashi and the cook from the portal had no idea what that means.
- Sashtiabdapoorthi at home is in three months, and you need someone who's cooked for thirty — properly.
- You want Mylapore-style sambar at home in Velachery, every day, without your aunt having to teach another stranger.

Before you decide
The questions worth asking before anyone starts in your home — answered here, so nothing catches you off guard later.
Iyer or Iyengar — does it matter?
If your family can tell the difference, yes. Say it in the first message — sambar style, thaligai, satrumadhu — and you'll only see cooks who've cooked in that tradition.
How is a satvik day handled in a kitchen that normally uses onion?
Kitchen discipline matters: separate vessels where your family requires it, no onion or garlic brought near the cooking that day. State your household's exact rule — families differ — and it's written down before day one.
Can she come only for festival days?
Yes — Navaratri, Pongal, Diwali and pooja days are placed as separate arrangements. Mention the festival dates in your message; festival weeks fill first.
Does she grind masala fresh or use store-bought?
Fresh grinding is the default for traditional cooks — arachuvitta sambar exists because of it. If your family uses a particular brand of podi, she'll work with that too.
Will she cook for a function at home?
Small to mid-size home functions are normal — thirty plates, proper quantity, timed to your muhurtham. Tell us the headcount and date early; larger events are agreed separately.
What do you provide and what do we?
She brings the skill; you provide groceries, spices, vessels and kitchen access. That split is stated before she starts so there's no mid-meal negotiation.
What do you need from us in the first message?
Your area, Iyer or Iyengar preference if any, daily or occasion-only, and the meals you need. Add your restrictions — no onion, no garlic, no onion on Ekadashi — and we'll match precisely.
