In this 2.5-3 hour experience, you will be hosted by an Indian family who will open up their home and hearts to you. The lunch session will start at 12 PM and if you opt for a dinner session, it will begin at 6 PM.
North Indian food is known for its spices: turmeric, ginger, garlic, coriander, chillies, garam masala and so on. It is important to understand how to use these spices and strike the right balance between them. Our curries and breads are unique and there are hosts of homemade snacks and sweets stocked in every household. Our regular meal consists of rice or breads with lentils (dal) and vegetables (dry or with curry) or a non vegetarian dish. There is usually curd or raita, some salad, pickles or papads, and to wrap it up, a sweet dish of some kind. We love our food and you will too!

Observe which utensils we use for which purpose, how we mix spices, roast them, how we prepare masala, how we garnish our dishes and serve them. In the end, you will get to enjoy this food of course!
