Indian street food is where the flavour really lives: bold, layered, joyful, and a little messy in the best way. Across India, every region has its own version: the tangy chaat of Delhi, the sweet and spicy snacks of Gujarat, the iconic flavours of Mumbai. You might have tried some of it. You might have only seen it. Either way, once you've made it yourself, you'll be surprised by how simple it actually is.
My goal is simple: to make Indian vegetarian food feel approachable and doable in everyday Aussie kitchens. I share tips, shortcuts, and fresh ideas to help you cook confidently with Indian spices and ingredients, without spending hours in the kitchen.
The Journey of Indian Street Food is a three-volume series: each volume stands alone, so you can join any one independently, or come back for all three.

Note: Minimum of 4 guests per class. If we don't reach 4 by 3 days before the class, I'll be in touch to reschedule.

  • 5/5 from Kathy Reeves, attended Sep 2026: We had such a fantastic time learning from Anu. She was very friendly and knowledgeable and she taught us to make Indian street food in a fun, easy, relaxed way. Would definitely recommend her class.

Growing up in India, I initially had reservations about cooking, viewing it as tied to traditional gender roles. However, surrounded by the rich flavours and vibrant colours of Indian cuisine, I developed a love for cooking and sharing meals, inspired by my Mum's recipes and her emphasis on incorporating more vegetables into traditional recipes, instilling in me a deep appreciation for wholesome, nutritious food.
While my roots lie in traditional Indian cooking, my culinary journey expanded when I relocated to Australia 15 years ago. Exposed to a melting pot of cuisines, I found inspiration in blending traditional recipes with modern influences. Whether it's crafting comforting one-pot wonders like dal soup or experimenting with innovative twists on classic dishes like air-fried pakoras, and puff pastry samosa, cooking became my creative outlet and a way to express my rebellious spirit.
My approach to cooking values simplicity, practicality, and creativity, prioritising the use of fresh, seasonal produce while also embracing the convenience of store-bought ingredients to sustain a demanding lifestyle. I strive to strike a balance, ensuring that my dishes are not only delicious and healthy but also simple to put together.
I am here not just to share the recipes; but equally want to help foster a community of passionate, intuitive cooks, infusing spices in their day to day and promoting mindful eating practices.
Beyond the kitchen, I lead an active lifestyle, work full time and find myself to be very fortunate to be able to live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Having met my husband in Sydney, we bonded over our love for food, wine, running, cycling, camping, traveling and reading. With the support of my Australian family and friends, many of whom have been my enthusiastic guinea pigs turned cheerleaders, I'm excited to share my passion for Indian plant based cuisine with the world.
