About Me – Twinkle’s Desi Kitchen
Hi! I’m Twinkle Bansal, the heart and hands behind Twinkle’s Desi Kitchen. While many know me as a former Mehndi designer in Delhi, my true love has always been food — especially the soulful, vegetarian recipes that bring families together. This space is my kitchen diary, where I share simple, flavorful, and authentic Indian vegetarian recipes with food lovers across the world.
My Story & Cooking Journey
Cooking has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a family where food was an expression of love, I learned that the best recipes are often those passed down through generations.
Though I started my professional journey as a mehndi artist, my kitchen was always my comfort zone. Eventually, I realized I wanted to share the same joy, flavors, and traditions that shaped my own meals. That’s how Twinkle’s Desi Kitchen was born — out of passion, persistence, and a desire to keep India’s vegetarian food culture alive in modern kitchens.
