Top India Cooking Classes

My wife and I booked this Indian cooking class during our trip to Delhi, and it ended up being one of the absolute standouts of our entire visit. We came in as enthusiastic beginners and left feeling confident, inspired, and genuinely excited to recreate everything at home. Over the session we cooked five incredible dishes, each packed with flavour yet surprisingly achievable. What really set this class apart were the smart shortcuts, time‑saving techniques, and flavour‑boosting tips woven into every step. Instead of spending all day in the kitchen, we learned how to build authentic Indian depth quickly and efficiently — something we’ll use long after this trip. The instructor was warm, knowledgeable, and wonderfully patient, creating an atmosphere that felt more like cooking with a friend than attending a class. Every question was welcomed, every step explained, and every dish tasted better than the last. Whether you’re a confident cook or a complete beginner, this class delivers an unforgettable experience. We walked away with new skills, full stomachs, and a deeper appreciation for Indian cuisine. If you’re visiting Delhi, don’t miss this — it’s worth every minute.

We went shopping for vegetables and found ourselves peeling, cutting and chopping ingredients in preparation for the cooking. We made masala chai tea, pakoras, bitter gourd, okra, eggplant, lentils, and potato masala bread. We learned about Indian cooking secrets and met Shalini's endearing family. It was a great experience overall. Many thanks, Shalini.

I had such a wonderful experience at this home cooking Indian class. It felt warm, welcoming, and incredibly hands-on from start to finish. We learned to make a beautiful variety of dishes, including soft, freshly made chapatis, comforting dhal, flavourful vegetable dishes, and a deliciously creamy rice pudding. One of the highlights was learning how to make authentic chai from scratch. Everything was explained clearly, with lots of tips about spices, techniques, and how to balance flavours properly. It was relaxed, friendly, and perfect for all skill levels.

It turned into something far bigger than a cooking class. Sonu and Preeti welcomed me into their home like family. We shared tea. We laughed. Their children played in the background while we cooked seven different dishes together. No stage. No performance. Just real life unfolding in a Delhi kitchen. Traditional spice trays. Aromas blooming in hot oil. Stories traded over simmering pots. Travel at its best is not about checking a box. It is about sitting at someone’s table and being invited in. Grateful for the warmth. Grateful for the trust. Grateful for the reminder that hospitality is a universal language. Seven dishes. One home. One memory I will carry long after the flight leaves.

This was just the best experience! Durga and her husband taught us to cook various dishes and breads in their own home kitchen. Their daughter Metali was the perfect host (and also offers walking tours of Udaipur). It was an authentic experience and we gained genuine new skills that we can take and use at home when cooking Indian food. Highly recommend Durgas cooking class to anyone interested in Indian food.

We had a wonderful Indian cooking class in Jaipur with Bunty and Dimple. From the moment we arrived, they welcomed us warmly into their home and made us feel like family. Bunty was an excellent teacher—clear, patient, and passionate about Indian cooking—while Dimple’s kindness and hospitality made the experience even more special. The food was absolutely delicious and truly authentic. This was more than a cooking class; it was a beautiful cultural experience and a highlight of our time in Jaipur. Highly recommended! 🙏🏽

Namita and her husband are gracious hosts, welcoming you into their home and lives. Namita is an excellent chef and teacher eager to share her expertise and love of Indian cooking. If you value authentic travel experiences, you do not want to miss this one. We are a group of 3 friends, aged 24 to 65 and all agreed that if could’ve given this experience 10 stars we would’ve.

We booked a tour to see the Taj Mahal at sunrise and the Agra fort afterwards. Coming at this time of the year was great because you do not have too many people at the sites, even at the Taj Mahal. Laxman was our tour organizer, and he organized everything perfectly, and contacted us via whatsApp shortly after the booking from Viator. He put us in contact with our guide Zeeshan. As planned, our guide came to pick us up from the hotel at 5:15am and we drove to the Taj Mahal. The visit was amazing and our guide was very professional, very knowledgeable about India, and all the sites, friendly and let us take our time to enjoy the place, take beautiful pictures, and get anectodes. Our driver was also super good, safe and use to drive well among the challenging traffic. Afterwards we went to Agra fort and we loved the passion that we could see in Zeeshan. This place has definitely a lot of history. Finally we had the possibility to visit another site, and we choose the baby Taj, for which you obviously have to pay extra, and location was also not too far from the two other sites. The site is also beautiful and we can understand some of the inspiration of the Taj Mahal. Overall, the tour and the guide was amazing and I would definitely recommend it! Thank you Laxman and Zeeshan!
