Begin with a warm welcome and an introduction to Karnataka's rich culinary heritage. Over a refreshing local beverage, your hosts will share how regional ingredients, seasonal produce, and family recipes have shaped everyday life across South India. Explore a selection of traditional spices, lentils, herbs, and pantry essentials while learning how they contribute to the distinctive flavors of the region.

Next, join your hosts in the family kitchen for a hands-on cooking session where you'll help prepare a selection of authentic South Indian dishes. Depending on the season and the day's menu, you may assist in making favorites such as dosa, idli, sambar, coconut chutney, vada, bisibelebath, or other regional specialties.
