Bismillah, Alhamdulillah.
I’ve finally taken the plunge into the world of blogging! I’m not sure what held me back, but I am elated to finally be able to have a home for all of your favourite recipes – no more endless scrolling on socials, ThreeCupsOfChai.com is here for you to find the exact recipes you’re looking for with a quick search 🙂
If you’re new to our community, welcome! I’m Zahra, a mother to three beautiful children, recipe developer and food photographer based in the Greater Toronto Area. I’m a Canadian Punjabi Indian, born and raised in the GTA, and I’ve been cooking since I was twelve, when I made my first roti, and I’ve always had a passion for good food, recreating restaurant favourites, and exploring food cultures from around the globe. My favourite cuisines include Indian, Middle Eastern, Mexican, Italian and Thai. Fun fact: the first meal I ever cooked was chicken fajitas with a DIY station and all!
Some things you’ll find here include easy to follow recipes that are approachable, and nourishing; tips and tricks on how to perfect everything from boiling rice, to making beautiful breads; my favourites, things I think everyone should have in their kitchen and pantry; and some history on the origins of certain dishes, mixed in with a little nostalgia.
If you run a quick search, you’ll also find recipes that are plant based, gluten free, and oil free.
Food is my love language, and I’m here to share everything I know with you!
Excited for this new chapter, and so grateful to have you here!
Let’s get cooking,
Zahra
