Culinary wisdom lives in home kitchens. If you are a home cook or home chef in Bengaluru with a signature spice blend, a heritage recipe, or simply a passion for authentic food, we want to hear from you.
The best food in India lives in home kitchens. It lives with mothers and grandmothers who have been cooking the same recipes for decades, refining them a little each time, never writing them down because their hands already know. Most of that food never leaves those homes. It never reaches the neighbour three streets away, let alone someone across the city. We built Henchu because we believe it should. The food that mothers make deserves to be tasted, shared and paid for fairly.
We are looking for a mother with a signature dish. Maybe you have a family recipe that everyone at gatherings asks for. A spice blend you grind by hand. A pickle your neighbourhood already trades in jars. A thindi your ajji taught you that nobody else makes quite the same way. It does not matter if you have never cooked professionally. What matters is that your food is genuinely good, and that you want more people to taste it. If that sounds like you, we want to meet you.
Your recipe stays yours. Your name goes on it. We handle the kitchen, the packing, the delivery and the customers. You cook what you already cook well, and you earn from every order. That is the arrangement. Some of our mothers cook one day a week, some cook more. Some bring a single dish, others bring several. We work around what makes sense for you and your family. If you have a recipe that deserves to reach more people, we would love to hear from you.
