Experience Mumbai through the eyes of local with a passion for food and entertaining!Pallavi lives in an elegant apartment in South Mumbai. After getting married she learned to cook from her mother, mother-in-law and the family maharaj (cook). But, it was her father-in-law who gave her the most encouragement and taught the best way to pair ingredients.
Pallavi will welcome you into her sprawling apartment dressed in an elegant sari. You will get to know each other as you sip on chaas (buttermilk) and eat delicious Gujarati snacks such as dhokla (made from rice and fermented chickpea batter), khandvi (a savory bite sized snack) or patra (rolled colocasia leaves). Pallavi will then take you to Crawford Market to discover local fruits and vegetables for your cooking class. This is a huge marketplace where you can find anything and everything you could possibly need for your kitchen or home.
Once back home, you will meet the family maharaj and begin your cooking class. Pallavi and the maharaj will teach you to make shrikhand (sweet yoghurt based dish), fry puris and prepare sweet daal (a famous Gujarati lentil dish).
In addition to the dishes you helped prepare, your meal might include dishes such as baingan bhartha (roasted eggplant with onions and tomatoes), bajra roti (pearl millet flat-bread), aloo and gobi sabzi (stir fried potato and cauliflower), other seasonal vegetables, and will end with shrikhand (sweet yogurt). Your lunch will be served on a silver thali, truly the royal treatment.
Leave Pallavi's home with new recipes, a new friend, a full stomach, and an unforgettable experience in Mumbai!
Important Notes:
- Pallavi only cooks vegetarian food and does not serve alcohol.
- This is not a professional cooking class, rather this experience is a visit into an authentic, local home to meet a local person and share the culture and cuisine together.
