There’s something magical about the way Prashin approaches cooking — not just as a necessity, but as a joyful ritual of creativity and care.
1. Start with Fresh, Whole Ingredients
Prashin always emphasizes quality. “If it comes from the earth, respect it. If it’s been processed, question it.” Choose fresh vegetables, whole spices, and good oils.
2. Toast Your Spices
This is Prashin’s golden rule. “The difference between bland and bold? Heat. Toast your cumin, coriander, or mustard seeds lightly — they release aromatic oils that make all the difference.”
3. Balance Your Flavours
According to Prashin, every dish needs a balance of sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. A splash of lemon juice or a pinch of sugar can completely transform a sauce or stew.
4. Cook with All Five Senses
He doesn’t just rely on taste. “Listen to the sizzle, smell the onions caramelizing, feel the texture of your dough — let your body guide your recipe.”
5. Keep It Joyful
Above all, Prashin’s cooking tip is to love the process. “Turn on music, dance while you stir, and don’t stress if things aren’t perfect — flavour thrives in joy.”
Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a beginner with burnt toast memories, Prashin’s insights will help you fall in love with cooking again.
