Meet the Home Chefs Behind Your Daily Meals
We are a community of over 300 licensed home chefs across Bengaluru. Meet the talented women who turn their passion into your favourite home-cooked meals.
"No job is small or big, do what makes you happy." On Women's Day, we celebrated the inspiring voices of our home chefs who are building their own identities and becoming self-reliant. Their strength is the secret ingredient in every meal.
Meet our home chef Poonam Agarwal. She specializes in authentic Marwadi and Haryanvi dishes, using only iron and cast-iron cookware, no MSG, and natural sweeteners like jaggery. It's this commitment to quality that makes our food truly special.
"You don't need to depend on anyone, stand on your own feet." One of our home chefs shares her advice for other homemakers, explaining how easy it is to start earning from your own kitchen with us. We handle the delivery, you just cook with love.
Meet our Regional Head Chef, Bhavana Sejpal. With her deep experience in the food industry, she helps train and guide our home chefs, ensuring consistent quality and taste across our platform. We are proud to have her expertise leading our kitchens.
We are proud that over 70% of our chefs are homemakers who have become financially independent culinary professionals. They are the leaders driving our vision to change the way India eats, one home-cooked meal at a time.
It's always a joy when our home chef community comes together. Here are some glimpses from our "Samvardhan" meet-up for the JP Nagar chapter, filled with laughter, food, and shared stories.
The smiles say it all. Our home chefs are more than just partners; they are family. These moments of connection and community are what fuel our mission.
About this collection
Every Homeal chef you see here is more than just a home cook; they are licensed, audited professionals. We don't just trust them with a spoon; we verify their kitchen hygiene and cooking methods. Whether it’s Poonam’s specific cast-iron cookware usage or a new chef joining our Bangalore community, each one is handpicked to ensure your food is safe, healthy, and genuinely authentic.
We started Homeal because we missed 'ghar ka khana' and noticed so many incredible women in our city with magic in their hands but no platform to share it. This isn't a factory kitchen or a typical cloud kitchen setup. When you subscribe, you are directly supporting a home chef—often a homemaker finding financial independence—and connecting with a story, not just an order.
From our 'Samvardhan' community meetups in JP Nagar to the training sessions led by our Regional Head Chef, Bhavana Sejpal, we invest deeply in our people. We know that the best ingredients are love, tradition, and consistency. That’s why we support our chefs with a central hub for fresh staples like rotis and rice, while they focus on the heart of the meal: the sabji and gravy.
We believe in being transparent. You aren't ordering from a random aggregator; you're ordering from a neighbor. Whether you're looking for North Indian comfort food or regional specialties, you can browse through the chefs in your area and see the hands that create your meals.
Homeal
We’re Homeal, a Bangalore-based community born from our own hunt for real 'ghar ka khana'. We bridge the gap between talented home chefs and you, ensuring every meal feels like a warm hug.
