What We Loved

A Citrus Bioenzyme, made at home and used as a natural cleaner. The bioenzyme is created by fermenting fruit scraps like citrus peels for several weeks, resulting in a fragrant liquid that cleans and deodorises.

Made from the peels of Singhara (water chestnut), this Singhara Peel Achaar is tossed with mustard, chilli, and a little oil. A zero-waste achaar that turns an overlooked peel into a sharp condiment.

Handwritten pledges, each capturing a personal commitment to using kitchen scraps more thoughtfully. A collective record of small but meaningful shifts made during the meetup.

MEET YOUR HOST

Sitara is a marketing professional and food enthusiast. Her work reflects a strong commitment to storytelling and purpose, aiming to build brands that connect authentically with audiences.

What does local mean to you?

‘Local’ to me is diversity, communal wisdom, and the least selfish of many available options. It’s a way to celebrate what is within, and nurtured by people whose names you can learn.

What is your most enduring food memory?

For me it will always be the smell of rasam through a runny nose. There is something instantly electric about the mix of pepper, coriander, puli, jeera, and hing—a coming together of warmth, nutrition and family.

If you were a seasonal ingredient, what would you be?

Raw mango. I’m moody, easy to change, and adaptable.

What is one unusual food pairing you swear by?

Sugar in Podi. I know, I can see the horror in your face. But seriously, try it.

How do you see your Local Food Club flourishing?

Delhi’s LFC community is filled with people who love food—professional chefs, bakers, and people like me who should get a badge as official food tasters. The community thrives in its generosity. In every meeting I have been to, people have shared warmth, stories, food, and recommendations with utter joy. Preserving that sense of community and openness is the path I see to a flourishing LFC in Delhi.
