These are the principles behind everything published on Cooking with Siddhi: our recipes, cooking guides, meal plans, comparisons and product reviews. Last updated: 16 October 2026.
Accuracy first
Every recipe is cooked in Siddhi’s own kitchen before it goes live on the site, and factual claims in guides are checked against reliable sources such as manufacturer specifications, government and research bodies, and established food science. Where something is our opinion, we say so.
Written for Indian kitchens
We use Indian ingredient names alongside English ones, familiar Indian measures, and equipment Indian households already own. When an ingredient, regional term or technique may be unfamiliar, we explain it.
No medical or health claims
We do not claim that any recipe or product treats, prevents or cures a health condition. When we mention nutrition, we cite a reliable source, such as the ICMR-NIN dietary guidelines. For specific dietary needs, please consult a doctor or registered dietitian.
Independence, affiliate links and sponsored content
- Our recommendations are not for sale. Products are chosen on merit using our review methodology.
- Affiliate links may earn us a small commission at no extra cost to you. They never change what we recommend. See our affiliate disclosure.
- Sponsored posts are always clearly labelled “Sponsored” at the top of the page, and brands do not get to approve our opinions.
Images
We use our own photos, properly licensed stock images and our own diagrams and infographics. Product images from retailers are used only as their terms allow. We aim for every image to be clear and sharp on both phones and computers.
Guest contributors
Guest posts are edited to the same standards as our own work and carry the author’s name. Read our Write for Us guidelines to contribute.
Updates and corrections
We review our guides regularly, especially buying guides, where products and specifications change. When we get something wrong, we fix it and note the date of the update on the page. You can report an error in the comments on any post or by emailing cookingwithsiddhi@gmail.com.
