The success story of Madhuras Recipes Leave a comment

People say, “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade!”; I, on the other hand, was more focused on turning those lemons into achaar, lemon rice, lemon muffins, and much more!

My name is Madhura Bachal, I am a YouTube chef and a businesswoman.

YouTube chef! Who knew there would come a time when you could introduce yourself with a career like that!

I am sure all of you are thinking that you are looking at an expert chef, who has been into cooking even before she could think of anything else, but what if I told you that I never really cooked or knew very much about cooking before I got married? Surprised! Well, let me tell you why.

Journey

I am a product of a rough childhood, where making ends meet was difficult, but it was a job that had to be done at any cost. My whole life revolved around college, work, and freelance opportunities to make as much money as possible. While early mornings were dedicated to college, the rest of my day was dedicated to a 9-6 job and evenings were for taking up freelance appointments like Mehendi and rangoli designing.

I had spent 8 years of my life climbing the corporate ladder, and by the time I reached the right age for marriage, I was working a good job, in a good position. I was financially independent, my family was in a good place, and I was ready for a companion.

Marriage and More

My marriage process was an arranged one, and in between the cups of tea and hot samosas I met Mangesh in the year 2006, the man who became an irreplaceable part of my life and what I do. Mangesh bagged an on-site opportunity in the United States of America in the year 2007, and we were on our way to the windy city of Chicago to rebuild our lives on a stronger foundation.

Once we were there and settled, the professional in me could not sit idle. I was quick to land myself a job in a reputed bank and I was back to my 9-6 routine. With my new marriage, new home, new country, and a new job, I was also exploring my new love for cooking in my free time.
