Our Story
From Sunday Kitchens to a Culinary Movement
We're Kavita & Akash, the husband-and-wife team behind Homemade Indian Food — a labour of love born from spice-stained aprons, bubbling pots, and the joy of feeding others from the heart.

Raised in Indian households where food was never just food — it was comfort, celebration, and connection — we grew up learning the art of cooking not from books, but from mums, aunties, and grandparents.
Our earliest memories are filled with the sounds of mustard seeds crackling in oil, the aroma of fresh garam masala, and the warmth of sharing a home-cooked meal.
When we moved to the UK, we longed for those flavours — honest, bold, and deeply rooted in tradition. But we also realised something beautiful: there was a growing community here just as hungry for that connection to real Indian home cooking.
What began as Sunday meal kits made in our home kitchen, cooking experiences hosted for curious foodies, and spice blends crafted the way our families made them — slow-roasted, fresh-ground, and full of soul — quickly became something more: a shared table where people from all walks of life could discover the joy of authentic Indian cooking, without shortcuts, preservatives, or pretence.
“No restaurant tricks. No factory flavours. Just real, honest food — made by hand, with pride and purpose.”
Why We Do This
Our mission: radically transform how people view Indian cuisine in the UK, and position Homemade Indian Food as an attractive, logical and financially feasible way to enjoy the true flavours of India.
No Shortcuts, No Preservatives
We deliver truly homemade Indian meals, prepared with authentic ingredients and preserved through chilled/frozen methods for maximum freshness and flexibility.
Meals That Feel Like Moments
Daily cooking is hard for busy UK lifestyles, and food delivery often lacks soul. HIF turns meals into moments — reheating tips, surprise street food tasters, mini gifts and festival specials.
Empowering Kitchen Queens
Talented Indian home cooks — especially women — often lack a platform to earn and share their traditions. We empower Indian women, moms, aunties and bhabhis, to earn with dignity and pride.
