Cooking Class & Dinner with an Indian Family

Bring the best possible souvenir back from your trip to Varanasi: the memory of a dinner with a local family and how to recreate it at home!

Cooking Class & Dinner with an Indian Family

On the day of your activity, you'll be picked up from your hotel in Varanasi and taken to the home of a local family. You will be welcomed to begin an experience of Indian traditions and cuisine.

Your cooking class will start with an introduction to typical Indian food: from popular ingredients to cooking tips and traditional recipes from Varanasi. You will gain insight into the rich flavors of Indian gastronomy.

Next, you will prepare the dishes you will enjoy later, guided by your host family. Learn how to cook pakoras, samosas, rice dishes, and a sweet treat of gulab jamun served in kheer.

Finally, you will sit down together to taste the results of your cooking lesson. While enjoying the meals you've created, you will also learn about the local customs practiced in Varanasi before eating. This will be a cultural experience to remember!
