Visit a local market with an expert home cook and learn to make North Indian dishes in a home kitchen. Your host today is Shivani, who has been cooking since she was a teenager and inherited family recipes and cooking techniques from her mother. Her biggest passion is to cook for her family, and both her husband and daughter relish good food. After marrying, Shivani’s passion for cooking grew and she started to develop new recipes. She runs a catering company that provides wholesome and delicious home cooked food for parties, gatherings and office lunches.
Shivani will take you to her local market before you return to her home for an hour long cooking lesson. After learning to cook some of her favorite dishes you will enjoy the meal together at her table.

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Shivani will welcome you into her beautiful bungalow. They have a small outdoor seating area where they like to barbeque meats and paneer (fresh cheese) in the winter. After you enjoy your welcome drink, Shivani will take you to the Kailash Colony Market where you will learn about the different kinds of seasonal produce available. You may pick up a few ingredients before returning home to the kitchen. Your host Shivani will teach you how to make 2-3 of the dishes during your cooking lesson. This may include dal makhni, a slow cooked dish using whole black lentils, kidney beans, butter and cream, a dish with paneer (fresh Indian cheese) or rotis (flatbreads). You can expect to be cooking for 1 hour before you share the meal you helped prepare over conversation with your host.
