Safia is co-director and one half of the mother-daughter team that runs Pure Punjabi. In addition to the cookery school workshops for adults, Safia also launched kids cookery workshops.

They focus on giving foodies from outside the Punjabi community access to the knowledge and culinary skills found inside the homes of Punjabi families. Together with her mother, Surinder, their award-winning artisan spices and The Pure Punjabi Cookery School (both a physical school, and an online cookery school) aim to maintain and pass on the traditional North Indian culinary skills that are becoming a dying art. Raised by her mother in the pure culinary traditions of the Punjabi kitchen, Safia loves to create fusion dishes from her Anglo-Indian heritage as well as her childhood spent in Europe and South Africa. Through Pure Punjabi, Safia and Surinder are determined to get pulses to the forefront of home cooking. Many of their spice products involve using pulses, in fact, their 3-course meal gift pack uses pulses for the starter, the main and the dessert! For 2016, the International Year of Pulses, Safia has written a free, online mini-course about pulses, which contains all the essential information that you need to know when cooking with pulses. It will allow people to really come to grips with pulses and learn how to use them. .Awards: Finalist, Young Entrepreneur, Enterprising Wiltshire Awards 2014.Gourmet Guru 2017 for the Global Pulse FederationPure Punjabi Ltd Great Taste Award 2013, 1 Gold Star for Pure Punjabi Tandoori MasalaThe Hampshire County Show, First prize in Food Hall 2014Great Taste Award 2016, 2 Gold Stars for Pure Punjabi Tandoori MasalaSmall Business Saturday 100 winners 2016 FreeFrom Food Awards 2017, Bronze for Masoor di dhal (Red lentil dhal), in the No Top 14 category (Free of the top 14 allergens).
