Step into the heart of Varanasi’s culinary traditions with a unique cooking experience hosted by a local chef and their family. This is not just a cooking class—it’s an invitation into an Indian home, where age-old recipes and cooking secrets are passed down through generations.

Begin your evening with a warm welcome and introduction to the spices and ingredients that give Indian food its rich flavors. Guided by the chef, learn how to prepare traditional dishes from scratch—grinding spices, making fresh rotis, and creating curries that balance aroma and taste perfectly.
