Hi, I’m Urooj, Welcome to Masala Secret. I am the writer and photographer of this blog. I live in Washington, DC with my husband and 3 kids. I am a food lover and passionate about cooking and creating new recipes.
I was born and raised in Karachi, Pakistan. My mother is a talented cook and expert in Pakistani traditional recipes, while my dad was an expert in international food. I feel these are my very precious treasures which I want to pass to my kids and all of you.
Since I moved to the USA I always missed my mom’s and dad’s food and following the taste which is left behind. I started to spend more time in the kitchen, and gradually I started to like cooking for my family.
I love watching my children appreciating and eating the same traditional food which I grew up with. I feel so happy that I am able to transfer my family food traditions to my kids. On weekends my family’s favorite bonding time is cooking together. Here I will share my family’s traditional authentic recipes along with the ones which I learned throughout my kitchen journey.
Apart from my recipes, you will find some recipes from my daughter Rimsha who is a teenager and loves spending her time trying new dishes. I bet you will also love her recipes as much I do.
Thanks for visiting!
