About Me!
I'm Aneesha - a foodie, recipe developer, photographer, writer, and the creator of Spice Cravings. I'm also the author of The Pressure Cooker Curry Cookbook, an Amazon favorite!
Born and raised in New Delhi, I started cooking in my teens, learning family recipes and kitchen shortcuts from my mom - lessons I still use today.
I currently live in California with my husband and our twin daughters-my biggest cheerleaders and honest critics! When I'm not cooking or blogging, you'll find me traveling or unwinding at home with a rom-com, reruns of Friends, a cup of coffee, or a glass of wine!

Frequently Asked Questions
Of course! When a recipe calls for a fresh chili (like a jalapeno), removing the veins and seeds is the best way to reduce the heat. Reduce the quantity in half for spice powders and work your way up from there.
I mention a source for the hard-to-find ingredients within the recipe in the Ingredient notes section. If you're having trouble finding an ingredient, comment on that specific recipe, and I'll reply with a solution. You can also visit my Amazon storefront for quick links to some of my products.
Yes! The nutrition information for every recipe is at the bottom of the recipe card in the recipe post. Please note that the nutrition information is an estimate and may vary depending on the specific brand of products used. If you follow any diet plan, I recommend cross-checking with your preferred nutrition calculator.
Yes! I published a cookbook featuring curry recipes from around the world-available here: Electric Pressure Cooker Curry Cookbook.
