After refreshing raspberry soda and a chat you will go together to Grand Road Market where Mahrukh will show you how she buys all her fruits, vegetables, meats and fish. She will share her deep knowledge of her region’s culinary origins and how the local cuisine was later influenced and expanded by the British and Gujarati people.
On returning home, Mahrukh will show you how to prepare some of her signature dishes like akuri (scrambled eggs and chicken pulao and daal (chicken with basmati rice topped with browned onions and lentils). Enjoy a delicious, traditional meal, which might also include dishes like saria and lagan nu achaar (rice crisps served with homemade date pickle), tam tamata prawns (prawns in a spicy, tangy sauce), jardalu na gosht (tender lamb, slow-cooked in an intense apricot gravy topped with crisp salli), roast chicken, and finally lagan nu custard (dense, luscious baked caramel custard topped with nuts and served with vermicelli and sweet yogurt).
Leave Mahrukh's apartment with new recipes, an unforgettable experience, and a new friend in Mumbai.

This is a meat-centric meal and Mahrukh does not offer vegetarian cuisine. Alcohol is not served in this home.
Mahrukh's apartment is on the 6th floor. Please note that the elevator only operates until the 5th floor and you will need to walk up one flight of stairs to reach her apartment.
