Hiring a cook in Ahmedabad
A good home cook is the difference between takeaway fatigue and fresh, home-style food every day. In Ahmedabad that usually means someone who can handle Gujarati and Kathiyawadi cooking, Jain and pure-veg food, Punjabi and North Indian — and who can be there at the hours your household actually eats, not the hours that suit a roster.
Ahmedabad kitchens are particular in a way that matters when you hire — pure-veg homes, Jain households that need onion and garlic left out entirely, and families who want proper Gujarati cooking rather than a generic North Indian menu. Say so at the start, not in month two. On Sevetu you set the cuisine, the meals and the timings, agree the salary directly with the cook, and record it all in a digital work agreement. Sevetu never takes a commission — the wage you agree is the wage the cook keeps.
What kind of cook can you hire?
How to hire, in four honest steps

What should you pay cooks in Ahmedabad?
What actually sets the rate
Hours, how many people live in the house, exactly which tasks are included, whether the role is live-in, and how far the cook has to travel to reach you. Two households on the same street can pay very differently and both be fair.
Ask your own street first
An ILO and IIHS study of domestic work in Indian cities found households calibrate to the running rate in their own neighbourhood, and are reluctant to break it — which is why pay clusters tightly inside one society in Ahmedabad and jumps between them. Your building is a better guide than any city-wide average.
Then put it in writing
Salary, hours, weekly off, paid leave, notice period and festival bonus. Agreeing all six at the start is the single best thing you can do to make the arrangement last.
We do not publish a salary table for Ahmedabad, and that is deliberate. No independent source measures home-help pay reliably at city level, and a number we invented would only anchor you to a figure with nothing behind it. Work it out from the job in front of you, and agree it directly — Sevetu takes no commission either way.
How to get a police verification in Ahmedabad
Sevetu runs an identity (KYC) check — Aadhaar or government ID. That confirms a person is who they say they are. It is not a police or criminal-background check, and we will never describe it as one. What we do and do not check →
If you want a police check as well — and for live-in roles, childcare and drivers it is worth it — you arrange it yourself, and in Ahmedabad there is an official route. Gujarat Police handles it through servant and employee verification, on the Gujarat Police Citizen Portal. The Gujarat Police citizen portal takes servant, employee and tenant verification applications online, with the helper's photograph and identity proof uploaded to the form.

Government processes change. Check the official Gujarat Police site for the current form, fee and documents before you apply. Sevetu is not affiliated with any police department.
Cooks across Ahmedabad
Sevetu is rolling out across Ahmedabad, neighbourhood by neighbourhood. Post your job with your locality and verified cooks near you can apply — including Satellite · Bopal · SG Highway · Vastrapur · Prahlad Nagar · Thaltej · Chandkheda · Maninagar · Naranpura · Gota · South Bopal · Navrangpura · Shela · Nikol and more. Posting your exact area rather than just "Ahmedabad" gets you fewer applicants but far more who can realistically make the commute every day.

Frequently asked questions
Post your job with your locality — Satellite, Bopal, SG Highway or wherever you are — plus the cuisine and the meal timings you need. Cooks in your part of the city apply and you pick.
We do not publish a rate card, on purpose. Cooking pay depends on how many meals, how many people, which cuisine, and how far the cook travels — and it settles neighbourhood by neighbourhood rather than city-wide. Decide what the work is worth in your own area and agree it directly; Sevetu takes nothing either way.
Yes. Applicants list the cuisines they actually cook, so you can choose someone who suits your family — Gujarati and Kathiyawadi cooking, Jain and pure-veg food, Punjabi and North Indian, veg or non-veg. It is worth being specific about this before you hire rather than hoping it works out.
Cooks can carry a Verified badge from an identity (KYC) check against Aadhaar or a government ID, and you can review experience before you chat. It is an identity check, not a police or background check.
Yes. You set the timings when you post the job — morning only, two meals a day, full-time or live-in — and cooks who match those hours apply.
Usually the household provides the ingredients and groceries. Some cooks will also do the grocery shopping for an added amount, which you agree in chat before you hire.
You can, and you arrange it yourself — Gujarat Police runs servant and employee verification, on the Gujarat Police Citizen Portal. Sevetu does identity verification only.
Most speak some combination of Gujarati, Hindi and English, and applicants list their languages on their profile.
