We are Pure Punjabi -North Indian cookery school, artisan spice blends producer, traditional Indian meal kits producer and and food events experiences business.

We’re a mother-daughter family business teaching the home-style cookery of our mother and grandmother, through –  The Indian Experience North Indian cookery workshops, Indian meal kits, and offering pop-up restaurant, weddings, corporate & experience evenings.

We are home to a world of pure North Indian food traditions and methods of the grandmothers spanning generations of traditional Punjabi cookery teaching methods.

Our concept is simple: to deliver healthy, delicious home-style North Indian food and cookery techniques to anyone who would like to be able to reproduce the food of the Punjabi grandmothers.  Simple honest food that was cooked this way when the first generation of immigrants arrived in the U.K. in the 50’s, which included our mother and grandmother, Seso Kaur Hothi.

Our cookery workshops and meal kit gift boxes, are perfect for gifting at any time of the year: Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, thank-you’s, and all special celebration days such as new home, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.

OUR Family cookery mETHODS

Our Indian experience Cookery workshop, is centred on historic culinary methods and contemporary delivery.  We unlock the mother’s teachings of our past for the indigenous population and second generation Punjabi descendants, bringing it to life in a modern age and setting, while promoting, preserving and teaching the traditional culinary ways.

We hope that we can deliver the food of childhood memories, to those of Punjabi heritage, who have lost access to the original cookery of their grandparents, as well as introduce our home-cooked dishes in a simple, easy and quick meal kit format to new and experience British cooks.

This is mother’s food – the daily diet and the nutritious food of The Punjabi, a region known as ‘The Bread Basket of India’. Punjabi people are farmers and small landowners, with a rich farming heritage and famed for hearty, substantial, nutritious and delicious food!

Our workshops and events are held at our HQ based in South Somerset, which we bought specifically to house Pure Punjabi and to offer accommodation to our workshop attendees.

Our conservatory area is also available for private dry-hire for daytime meetings and suitable for Wakes due to privacy, secluded setting and onsite gated parking.
