Mukti Banerjee
Founder at Mukti’s Kitchen
Mukti grew up in Calcutta, India, where she learned to cook from her mother and aunt. In 1986, she moved to the U.S. with her husband, Partha, to work as a biologist. As a senior research laboratory technician, she worked with doctors and scientists to study diseases like Cystic Fibrosis and Tay-Sachs.
In 2006, Mukti retired from the nine-to-five routine to focus full-time on her real dream – bringing the flavors and benefits of Indian cooking to all New Yorkers.
Indian food is easy to make and even more delicious to eat. Indian home cooking relies on fresh ingredients and special mixtures of spices, but most of all, it requires care and compassion in the way meals are prepared. When you come to Mukti’s Kitchen, you’ll learn to make healthy, tasty, and authentic Indian dishes. Mukti will be there to guide you!
