Our Story

Welcome to The Cozy Desi, a heartfelt space where Indian culture meets motherhood, home decor, and cozy living abroad. Join us for recipes, parenting tips, and festive inspiration!

This blog is my little sanctuary—where the aroma of homemade chai meets the buzz of life abroad, and where desi traditions continue to glow even thousands of miles away from home.

At The Cozy Desi, we believe in the power of storytelling. Our blog is a reflection of our lives, filled with personal anecdotes, cultural insights, and practical tips for every mom navigating life abroad. We aim to create a space that feels like home, where you can find inspiration and comfort in every post, making your journey as a Asian mom both relatable and enriching.

I started Cozy Desi with one simple intention: to create a place that feels like home.
A home where stories flow easily, where memories from India blend with experiences from the USA, and where every moment—whether chaotic, hilarious, or heartwarming—deserves to be celebrated. As an Indian woman shaped by the diverse cities of Bikaner, Delhi, and Mumbai, and now raising two little ones in a completely new world, my life is a beautiful mix of cultures, lessons, and love.

Here on Cozy Desi, you’ll find pieces of my journey—
• the traditions I hold close,
• the recipes that remind me of my mom’s kitchen,
• the festivals that now light up our American winters,
• the parenting stories that unfold with my spirited five-year-old boy and curious two-year-old girl,
• and the small joys that make our house feel “desi” no matter where we are.

This blog is for every parent balancing two worlds, for every Indian living abroad who misses home in quiet moments, for every woman rediscovering herself through motherhood, marriage, and migration. It’s for anyone who believes that comfort is found in stories, community, culture, and the simple things that make life warmer.

Cozy Desi is not just a blog—it’s a feeling.
A feeling of belonging.
A feeling of staying connected to your roots.
A feeling of creating a cozy, love-filled life wherever destiny takes you.

So, come in.
Make yourself comfortable and grab a cup of tea.
Let’s share stories, celebrate culture, and find the beauty in everyday chaos—together.
