Hire a female cook in Bangalore
Many Bengaluru households specifically want a female cook — for comfort, for the hours involved, or because someone elderly is home alone during the day. Review ID-verified profiles and agree the terms directly.
Hire a female cook in Bangalore
Asking for a female cook is one of the most common requests in Bengaluru home hiring, and the reasons are usually practical: an elderly parent alone at home during the day, a household where someone is more comfortable, or simply an early-morning or late-evening slot where it matters to the family.
It is a legitimate preference and you can state it when you post. What matters is being equally specific about the work — meals, timings, cuisine and quantity — because that is what determines whether the cook who applies is the right one and whether she stays.
What a female cook can be hired for
How to hire, in four honest steps
Post your cook job
Share the role, your locality in Bangalore, timings and budget. It takes about two minutes.
Review verified applicants
Compare experience, skills and ID verification at a glance — you always know who you are talking to.
Chat & agree on terms
Settle salary, hours, weekly off and duties over secure in-app chat. You decide the terms.
Sign a digital agreement
What you both agreed is recorded in a simple digital work agreement — clear for both sides.
What sets the rate
Meals and people, cuisine, hours, and whether prep, shopping or clean-up are included. The preference for a female cook does not change what the work is worth — the work does.
We do not publish a salary table for Bangalore, and that is deliberate. No independent source measures home-help pay reliably below city level, and an invented number would only anchor you to something 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 Bangalore
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 Bangalore there is an official route. Karnataka State Police handles it through the Police Verification Certificate for domestic servants and housekeeping. Karnataka runs this as a fully online service — you apply with an OTP, upload the documents, and the digitally signed certificate is delivered by email. It is also available through Seva Sindhu and KarnatakaOne. Karnataka State Police — official portal →
Government processes change. Check the official Karnataka State Police site for the current form, fee and documents before you apply. Sevetu is not affiliated with any police department.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Set it when you post the job and only cooks matching that will apply. It is among the most common preferences in Bengaluru households, particularly where an elderly parent is home during the day.
No. Pay follows the work — meals, people, cuisine, hours and travel — not the cook's gender. Anyone quoting you a different rate on that basis is quoting you a broker's margin.
Yes. Applicants list what they actually cook — South Indian and Karnataka food, North Indian, Andhra, Bengali, Jain and pure-veg among others. Ask for a paid trial meal before you commit.
Both. Set the hours when you post. Part-time → · Full-time →
We do not publish a rate card. Cooking pay depends on meals, people, cuisine and hours, and it settles locally rather than city-wide. Agree it directly; Sevetu takes no commission.
Profiles can carry a Verified badge from an Aadhaar or government-ID check. It confirms identity only — not a police check, and not a cooking qualification.
Yes, and you arrange it yourself. Karnataka State Police runs a police verification certificate for domestic workers as a fully online service — the section above explains it.
Post with your locality — Whitefield, HSR Layout, Koramangala or wherever you are. A cook has to reach you at a fixed time every day, so distance decides whether the arrangement lasts.
