Artist, Educator, Entrepreneur, Mother
Born in Srikakulam, Andhra Pradesh, a southern state in India, I have been raised all over India, but mostly in Dehradun, Uttarakhand which is at the foot hills of Himalayas. I am passionate about speaking multiple languages, enjoy different cultures and traditions. I love cooking, creative craft, photography, gardening, music, singing and dancing. I love to share my passion for cooking with others. For the past 18 years, I have been teaching cooking classes at Carrboro Century Center, Carrboro, North Carolina. I presently live in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
I have my own YouTube Channel called "Ranis' Cooking Channel" where I like to share my unique recipes so my kids and everyone can enjoy my recipes. I also recently started "Ranis' Bhakti Channel”. In my Bhakti Channel I like to teach simple and easy way to decorate and enlighten our house for Indian festivals.
I believe in Ayurveda and many recipes in my channel are Ayurveda based. So, I hope you watch and enjoy my recipes.
Also checkout "Ranis' Kitchen" page to get a feel of Powders and Pickles which are made from inspiration of Ayurvedic cooking. I personalize the products to your taste buds and health choices (like salt less or more, garlic, no garlic, red chilies, no red chilies and so).
