Traditional Indian Home Cooking Private Class in Hampi

If you're someone who values authentic cuisine in a real-home setting, this class is for you. Learn about the wide world of Indian home cooking and traditional textiles from our humble home in Hospet. We've traveled to every corner of India, collecting flavors, techniques, and traditions from small villages to big cities. You'll hear stories of real life in India and about our family's hundred-year history in textile collecting. From masala mixes to embroidery motifs, you'll learn what makes each Indian culture's cuisines and crafts unique. In your booking, please let us know if there are specific dishes you'd like to make or regions you'd like to focus on; otherwise, we'll craft a unique menu for your group. We can also accommodate any dietary restrictions or preferences—just let us know! Your health is important to us; we follow food safety practices and use bottled water for washing fresh fruits and vegetables.

Pick up from your location and drive to Hospet (20 minutes). Market tour (30 minutes): learn about local, seasonally available spices and other ingredients and how they feature in regional cuisines across India as we gather what we need for the class. Cooking class (1–1.5 hours): we will demonstrate the techniques and recipes used to make your selected dishes (choose 3, plus chapati). Choose to focus on one regional cuisine or mix and match dishes from different regions. Try your hand at grinding masala pastes and rolling chapatis, among other techniques. Enjoy a cup of delicious masala chai as you learn. Enjoy your handcrafted meal (30 minutes to 1 hour): As you're eating, we'll show you traditional textiles originating from the same diverse cultures as the food we've prepared together. Learn what makes each region and people's textiles unique—just like their cuisine. We'll show you textiles in our family collection as well as textiles available for purchase, so you can bring a piece of India home with you. Auto-rickshaw transport back to your hotel or pickup location (~20 minutes).
