Cook a real Indian meal, in a real Jaipur kitchen.
Cook alongside a local chef, learn the techniques behind Indian breakfasts, dals, curries and breads, then eat it all around the table.
Hands-on cooking class and home meal.
Step inside a Jaipur home and find out how Indian food is actually cooked. Start with the household spice box, prepare everything fresh, and learn the techniques behind curries, dals, breads, breakfast dishes and chutneys. Fully hands-on, and it ends the way it should — everyone sitting down to eat what they made.
