If you’ve ever tasted one of Prashin’s dishes, you’ll know there’s something special about them. They’re not just delicious — they tell a story. That’s because Prashin doesn’t just cook — he creates moments.
Over the years, he’s picked up more than a few techniques, lessons, and secrets. Today, he shares his go-to tips for anyone who wants to bring more magic into their meals — whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned home chef.
🔥 1. Start with the Right Energy
Before the chopping board even comes out, Prashin takes a moment to ground himself.
“Your energy goes into your food. If you’re calm, your food will be, too.”
His kitchen is a quiet space — music playing, ingredients prepped, mind focused. Cooking, for him, is meditation.
🌶️ 2. Spice is Life — Use It Right
Prashin’s spice rack is legendary. But he warns against overcomplication.
- Toast spices before using them. This releases their oils and makes the flavor pop.
- Use whole spices when possible — cloves, cardamom, and bay leaf go a long way.
- Finish with fresh herbs. Cilantro, mint, or curry leaves added at the end can completely transform a dish.
And always, taste as you go.
🍅 3. Fresh Ingredients > Fancy Techniques
You won’t find many shortcuts in Prashin’s kitchen. He believes great food starts with great ingredients.
“Don’t waste your time perfecting a sauce if the tomatoes are tired.”
His tip? Visit local markets when you can. Build relationships with vendors. And cook with the seasons.
⏳ 4. Patience is a Secret Ingredient
The difference between a good curry and a great one? Time.
Prashin lets his dishes simmer slowly, allowing the flavors to deepen. Whether it’s dal, biryani, or a rich masala, he always says:
“The longer it rests, the better it tastes.”
That goes for marination too — overnight if you can.
🥘 5. Honour Tradition, Then Make It Yours
Prashin learned to cook from his grandmother — but he’s never been afraid to innovate.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg to your korma
- Mix in orange zest with a dark chocolate dessert
- Try a splash of tamarind in your stew
Cooking, to him, is a dialogue between past and present.
💬 Final Tip: Cook with Love
At the heart of every tip, every recipe, and every dish, Prashin’s golden rule remains:
“Cook with love. People can taste it.”
So next time you’re in the kitchen, pause. Breathe. Smell the spices. Smile at the sizzle.
Because with a little love, a little patience, and a few of Prashin’s tips — every meal becomes a masterpiece.
