At Mummy's Magic, every jar of chutney, sauce, dip, and pickle is infused with the warmth, love, and culinary expertise of one remarkable woman – Nirmala Nigam, fondly known as Nimmi. This blog post is dedicated to introducing you to the heart and soul behind Mummy's Magic – our beloved mother. Her passion for cooking and her remarkable journey have inspired us to share her incredible recipes with the world.

A Culinary Legacy Begins in New Delhi

Nirmala Nigam's culinary journey began in New Delhi, India. Growing up in an upper-middle-class family, she was surrounded by the rich and diverse flavours of North Indian cuisine. From a young age, Nirmala was introduced to the art of making pickles and chutneys, an integral part of North Indian gastronomy. The vibrant and aromatic flavours of Dahi Ki Chutney, Mango Pickle, and Green Coriander Chutney were staples in her household.

As she honed her skills in the kitchen, Nirmala's love for cooking blossomed. She learned the traditional techniques and secrets passed down through generations, ensuring that every dish she prepared was a masterpiece. Her dedication to preserving authentic flavours became the cornerstone of her culinary philosophy.

A Journey Across Continents

After getting married, Nirmala embarked on a new chapter of her life, moving to the Middle East with my father. Over the next 40 years, she lived and travelled through various countries, including the Middle East, Europe, the USA, Canada, Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong. This global adventure exposed her to an array of local cuisines and culinary traditions.

Nirmala was a keen observer and a quick learner. She embraced the diverse flavours and cooking techniques of the places she visited, adding them to her ever-expanding repertoire of chutneys, dips, and sauces. Her culinary creations became a fusion of traditional Indian flavours and international influences, resulting in a unique and delightful culinary experience.

The Queen of Entertaining

One of the most remarkable aspects of Nirmala's culinary journey was her love for entertaining. Every weekend, our home transformed into a hub of laughter, joy, and delectable food. Nirmala single-handedly prepared lavish meals and chutneys for 50-60 guests, showcasing her exceptional culinary skills and boundless hospitality.

Her ability to create memorable dining experiences endeared her to everyone who had the pleasure of tasting her dishes. Friends and family eagerly anticipated the weekends when they could indulge in her culinary masterpieces. Nirmala's cooking was not just about food; it was about bringing people together and creating lasting memories.

A Mother's Legacy

Nirmala Nigam's culinary prowess and love for cooking have left an indelible mark on our lives. Growing up, we were inspired by her dedication and passion for food. Her recipes were more than just instructions; they were a reflection of her love, care, and creativity.

In 2015, we faced the heart-wrenching loss of our beloved mother after a long illness. Her absence left a void that could never be filled. However, her spirit and culinary legacy continued to live on in our hearts. It was her dream to share her cherished recipes with the world, and we felt a deep calling to fulfil that dream.
