About the Creator
I’m Kalinda Blythe, a lifelong food lover with a deep fascination for Indian cuisine. Though I live in Sydney, Australia, my passion for Indian cooking began through family friendships and countless meals shared with Indian friends and neighbors. Over the years, I’ve collected, tested, and refined recipes from home cooks across India—recipes passed down through generations, not found in cookbooks. I created Express Bazaar to share these discoveries with others who crave real flavor, not just trends.
Why This Website Exists
I noticed how many people wanted to cook Indian food but felt overwhelmed by complex instructions or hard-to-find ingredients. I wanted to change that. Express Bazaar exists because I believe everyone deserves to taste the warmth of a freshly made dal, the crunch of a perfectly fried samosa, or the comfort of a slow-simmered curry—without needing a trip to India or a PhD in spice ratios.
Our Values and Approach
We believe in authenticity, simplicity, and respect. Every recipe is tested multiple times in a home kitchen, using ingredients available internationally. We avoid jargon, prioritize clarity, and never assume prior knowledge. We honor the origins of each dish and always credit the traditions behind them. Our goal isn’t perfection—it’s connection.
