What's the  Ek Cup Garam Chai  story?

Auditor in the morning 📊, Baker in the evening 👩‍🍳

Hi, I'm Yasmeen and the Baker behind Ek Cup Garam Chai. I'm not a professional Baker by training (quite the opposite actually, I'm a boring ol' Accountant!), but what with my incessant stress baking habits continuing till date since the '80s, I know just as much about the nit-bits of quality baking as someone with full-fledged culinary school experience. 
​
When I was in college, I would bake cakes on birthdays of dear friends and roommates. As I got older, my new diners became my five little children, all ruthlessly sweet-toothed and deliciously fond of my baked goodies. 
​
Now that I've been working as an Auditor for almost three decades, I sometimes craved the floury freedom that baking offered me. I love mixing ingredients and watching them plump out in dimly lit ovens. I dearly missed the scents of brownies and cupcakes that would waft all over our apartment floor whenever I was baking - everyone could tell Yasmeen was creating something delicious in her quaint kitchen!
​
My children finally convinced me to start baking again, and this time not only for themselves (ah, these freeloaders!), but to sell them on this thing called Instagram. It has been a wonderfully rewarding year of selling tea cakes, halwas and mini delights on Instagram, and I have loved every second of it. If you all continue to show me the love that you have over the past year, I aim to continue with this passion project until my hair is all white and snowy, and beyond! <3
