Hi, I am Nandita & Welcome to The Spiced Chickpea!

I’m Nandita and I live in the Netherlands, but I was born in Surinam, a former colony of the Netherlands. Actually, we were all born in Surinam and lived there until we moved to the Netherlands in 90's. My cooking can be described as authentic, cultural and often inspired by my Mom’s Surinamese dishes (roti, nasi & bami) and her way of using spices and sauces to create new dishes. Those are the dishes I grew up with and love recreating, since it left a mark that’s linked with so many family memories. I also love using warm spices and create an explosion of flavours in the dishes I make. Sometimes cross-culture experimental, but always comforting and straight from the soul. And those are the dishes that you'll find here! Love, Nandita
