About Second Recipe
Hi, I'm Bhavana Bhatia, a certified nutritionist, recipe developer, and long-time IT professional turned food creator. Together with my husband Gaurav, I run SecondRecipe.com - our little corner of the internet where healthy, modern Indian cooking meets creativity, photography, and storytelling.
How It All Started
After working in IT for over 15 years, I found myself drawn more to flavours than frameworks. Cooking, writing, and photography became my creative outlet. When friends and family kept asking for recipes, we realised it was time to share them with the world. That's how Second Recipe began - a space to document what we cook, eat, and love.
Why "Second Recipe"?
Because every dish evolves. The first time you follow our recipe, it's ours. The second time, it's yours - personalised to your taste, pantry, and memories. Each recipe is like a painting; some prefer more spice, others more colour. You'll always make your own version, and that's what we love most about food.
What You'll Find Here
Our blog focuses on:
- Air fryer recipes that make Indian cooking quicker and healthier
- Traditional Sindhi dishes passed down through generations
- Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free meals made simple
- Healthy comfort food for busy professionals and families
We aim to help you cook delicious, low-oil meals that fit into real life - whether it's a weekday dinner or festive snack.
Food binds us as a family; it's where love, culture, and connection come together. In a fast-paced world, cooking at home is not just nourishing - it's grounding.

A Tribute to Tradition
Second Recipe also pays homage to our Sindhi roots - recipes that travelled across cities and continents yet kept our community connected through flavour. Each one carries nostalgia and home-cooked warmth.
A Note from Me
As a mum, I know the daily struggle to make something quick yet nourishing. Through this site, I want to show that good food doesn't need to be complicated. With the right balance of tradition and technology (like the air fryer!), you can cook smart, eat well, and feel good.
Thank you for being here - cook our recipes with love and share them with those who make life meaningful.
