Hello! I’m Leena Tiwade, the voice, writer, and cook behind Tikkaz N Curriez


By profession, I’m an English Lecturer, immersed in the world of literature and complex narratives. But beyond the classroom, my heart belongs to the kitchen—where I decode and share the profound, comforting stories told through Indian food.

For me, cooking is an act of reading history—and the language is spice.

The Foundation: Recipes Passed Down

At the heart of Tikkaz N Curriez lies authenticity and a deep respect for heritage.

The Family Archive: The most treasured recipes you’ll discover here—the rich, aromatic curriez and the smoky, well-seasoned tikkaz—are secrets lovingly passed down from my mother and grandmother. These flavors are more than dishes; they are memories of home.

The Journey of Discovery: My kitchen is a constant classroom. Just as literature teaches me new perspectives, I explore regional techniques, spice compositions, and diverse Indian specialties during my travels—bringing fresh inspiration to every recipe.


The Lecturer’s Pledge

My academic background shapes the way I share food with you:

Meticulous Clarity: Each recipe is written with precision and detail, breaking down complex Indian methods into easy-to-follow steps.

Accessible Authenticity: If you can follow a compelling story, you can master a sophisticated dish. My goal is to guide you in bringing the soulful flavors of India to your table with confidence.


A Delicious Journey Together

Thank you for joining me on this flavorful adventure. Here at Tikkaz N Curriez, we’re not just cooking—we’re preserving traditions, celebrating culture, and creating modern memories from timeless recipes.

Let’s savor the stories, one dish at a time.
