A hands-on cooking class in a Mumbai home kitchen, starting with a local market visit and ending with a shared meal of Maharashtrian and North Indian dishes.
This class begins with a short visit to a neighborhood vegetable and spice market in Khar West to select fresh ingredients, followed by several hours of hands-on cooking instruction in a private home kitchen. Menus typically cover a mix of Maharashtrian staples, such as varan bhaat and a vegetable bhaji, alongside a North Indian curry and flatbread, adjusted based on group size and dietary needs. The session concludes with the group sitting down to eat what they prepared, and participants leave with written recipes to recreate the dishes at home.
