Kosher India by Leron, The Spice Alchemyst Β· Jerusalem

Real Indian food. Truly kosher. Cooked in your kitchen.

Leron grew up in India in a Bene Israel family, where kashrut and spices were part of every single day. Today she brings that table to yours: you host, we cook, and your guests talk about it for a year.

Indian food isn't what you think.

"Too spicy."

Every dish is cooked at the heat you choose: gentle enough for kids, fiery for those who ask.

"Only vegetarian."

Butter chicken, lamb curry, tandoori, biryani. India has a deep meat tradition, and we cook it kosher.

"Everything in coconut milk."

Most of our dishes have none. The flavor comes from spices, roasted and ground the way Leron's family has always done it.

Our promises

Your heat level, guaranteed.

Mild, medium or real Indian fire. If a dish doesn't match what you chose, we adjust it on the spot.

Enjoy your guests.

We take care of the kitchen from start to finish, so you can stay at the table.

Made it once? Make it again.

After a workshop, if a dish doesn't work at home, send Leron a photo on WhatsApp and she'll fix it with you on a short video call.

A 2,000-year-old Jewish kitchen, now in Israel.

According to tradition, the Bene Israel reached India's western coast some 2,000 years ago, and have kept Shabbat and kashrut ever since. Leron grew up in that community: 24 years in India, recipes passed down from generation to generation, spices measured by hand.

After making aliyah, she earned a PhD and a post-doc in microbiology, on top of a background in biochemistry. Today she is The Spice Alchemyst: she measures everything, runs experiments on her recipes and keeps refining until the flavor is exactly right. Even her own mother watches her methods with curiosity. But her real school was her family's kitchen.

Kosher India isn't a restaurant. It's Leron's table, brought to yours.
