Itinerary

Travel independently to Pallavi’s apartment in South Mumbai. Be welcomed into her spacious, elegant home and get to know a little about her over chaas (buttermilk) and Gujarati snacks like dhokla (rice and chickpea batter), khandvi (savory bites), and patra (colocasia leaves).

As you chat, hear how Pallavi, was taught to cook. Then, visit the famous Crawford Market for ingredients to use in your meal. Peruse the fruit, vegetable, and homeware stalls of this vast marketplace, and shop for fresh local produce.

Return to the apartment kitchen and meet the maharaj, who, alongside Pallavi, will host your class. Learn to make shrikhand (sweet yoghurt dish), puris, and a sweet daal. You might also create baingan bhartha (roasted eggplant, onions, and tomatoes), bajra roti (millet flatbread), aloo and gobi sabzi (stir-fried potato and cauliflower), and other vegetable specialties.

When everything's ready, savor your creations served on a silver thali platter — the true royal treatment. Get additional culinary tips and learn about everyday life in Mumbai from Pallavi as you eat.

Lastly, take your leave with a full stomach, new recipe ideas, and a new friend in Mumbai.

Please note: Pallavi only cooks vegetarian food and does not serve alcohol. This is not a professional cooking class, but rather a cooking, dining, and cultural experience in the home of a local person.
