Shikshak Monica

Hi! I'm Monica - your Shikshak (teacher in Hindi) - and here's the thing: I've spent over a decade teaching thousands of people that Indian cooking isn't nearly as scary as that intimidating list of spices makes it look.
It all started with 8 complete strangers in my front room (long story!), & now I've got my cookery school in the UK,  had a TV series on Amazon Prime, and students worldwide who've discovered that making a proper curry is actually dead simple once you know the tricks.
My online cookery school at www.shikshak.co.uk is where I share all my best secrets - the ones I picked up spending hours in my mum's kitchen, the shortcuts that'll save your sanity, and those little techniques that turn "what's for dinner?" panic into "bloody hell, did I really make this?" pride.
Whether you're the type who burns water or you're already pretty handy with a spatula, I'm here to guide you through every slice, and stir. Because honestly? Life's too short for bland food.
Let's get cooking!
