About

Hello there! Welcome to Cheeky Chilli. We’re happy to have you here at our little place on the Interwebs.

Cheeky Chilli is a place where we document all our culinary and related exploits. The short of it is Sharmila writes and Amey photographs, they both cook. The long story…well, how much time do you have?

This blog started out as Sharmila’s sole endeavour, a place for her to finally put down all those tweaks that she made to recipes and could never remember. She’s never been known to make one dish the same way twice. She’s easily distracted like that. However, like with everything else in her life, her husband, who was her best friend a lot longer than he’s been her husband, managed to distract her with some fantastic noodles he whipped up while he made himself indispensable to this space. Amey does almost all of the photography. Well, like 99% of it. So may be that’s more than almost…

This site has evolved just like the rest of our life, something we have riotous fun exploring together. We do seem to have an awful lot of things we both like, however we both have decidedly individual takes on them . We’re both architects, love to read, are crazy about music and movies. But ask us what and why exactly and we could talk all day about the same things from entirely different viewpoints. We’re quite vocal, love discussing stuff strongly (something our friends have sadly resigned to) and have passionate opinions about food. Join us through our culinary meanderings as we document the food we eat along with a little bit of our life.
