It’s Nisha Madhulika Homemade Formula

According to her, she has now started spending the money she earns. She buys new things required for her kitchen. She doesn’t promote any shop where she buys supplies for her kitchen. But she always tries to look for the best and useful items.

They have a team of five people who helped Nisha to establish her own website. She says, “I am really thankful to them by heart. I wouldn’t think about turning my dream into such a huge venture with no support.”

The couple had to shoot the video before 9 am because her husband has to leave for office. So, she wakes up early to get things organized. None of them had any training to operate a camera in a professional manner. Initially, it was very difficult. They had very less time to record the overall process of cooking. They had to repeat the process if things go wrong. It leads to huge wastage.

In order to improve video quality with fewer distractions, the couple had to turn a whole bedroom into kitchen. According to the situation, she shoots at least 2 to 3 recipes per week.

When everyone is busy cooking at home in festive season, she likes to produce more videos. When she is not preparing any video, she reads, experiments, and prepares. Whenever she feels ready, she calls her team and they start shooting. Even on the off-shooting days, she doesn’t have much time. She has to do a lot of things.
