About Chef Handi

Our purpose

Every home has something left over each day: some rice, two rotis, half a bowl of daal. Too often it gets thrown away, when it could become a tasty new dish.

Chef Handi helps with exactly that. Here you will find leftover recipes, homemade achaar, kitchen hacks and everyday cooking tips, in Roman Urdu, Urdu and English.

How the Desi AI Chef works

You tell it what is left over or what is in your kitchen, by typing or with a photo. The AI Chef builds a desi recipe around your goal (fat loss, muscle gain or maintenance), with calories and protein.

Your daily calorie target is calculated with the Mifflin-St Jeor formula, which is used worldwide.

Being upfront

Calories and protein are estimates and can vary slightly with home quantities.

This website is not a substitute for a doctor or dietitian. For diabetes, blood pressure, pregnancy or any health condition, please check with your doctor.

If you spot a mistake in a recipe, or something that could be better, please tell us and we will fix it.

Where we are
