About Me

Hi there! Welcome to my little corner of the culinary world.

I’m Radhika, the creator of the purple stove, a civil engineer by profession. Even though engineering is my job, cooking and baking have always been my real passion. I started cooking to relax after work, and over time, it turned into a hobby that brings me a lot of joy and creativity.

As a proud Goan, I grew up surrounded by the rich flavours and traditions of Goan cuisine. Through this blog, I am excited to share authentic Goan recipes passed down through generations, along with my favourite dishes and baked treats. You will also find recipes inspired by cuisines from around the world, all made with simple ingredients and easy instructions.

This blog was born out of my love for food and my desire to document and share my culinary adventures with fellow food enthusiasts. Whether you’re looking for a traditional Goan curry, a comforting homemade dessert, or an exciting international dish, I hope you’ll find something here that inspires you to step into the kitchen and create something delicious.

Thank you for visiting and being a part of my small cooking journey. I look forward to sharing recipes, tips, and stories with you along the way.

From my kitchen in Goa to yours, sharing the joy of homemade cooking!
