Mumbai: Hands-On Indian Cooking & Masala Chai Experience

Learn how to prepare a multi-course Indian meal in Mumbai with a local instructor. Enjoy a traditional welcome, discover Indian spices, and prepare authentic masala chai.
Begin your experience with a warm traditional Indian welcome, including a tika and refreshing welcome drink. Meet your local cooking instructor and get a glimpse into the traditions and flavours of Indian home cooking.
Learn about everyday Indian spices, fresh vegetables, herbs, lentils, grains, and other essential ingredients used in vegetarian cooking. Your instructor will explain how different spices are combined to create the distinctive flavours of Indian cuisine.

This is a hands-on cooking experience, not simply a cooking demonstration. You will actively participate in every stage — from selecting and preparing ingredients to washing and cutting vegetables, preparing masalas, cooking on the stove, and learning how to balance spices and flavours.

With step-by-step guidance from your instructor, prepare a selection of authentic Indian vegetarian dishes from scratch. You will learn traditional techniques and simple tips that you can also use when cooking Indian food at home.

After cooking, sit together in a welcoming traditional setting and enjoy the fresh vegetarian meal you have prepared yourself. Complete the experience with a cup of Indian masala chai and enjoy a relaxed conversation about Indian food, culture, and everyday cooking traditions.

Most importantly, this experience is about enjoying the cooking process, learning something new, and experiencing authentic Indian food beyond a restaurant meal.
