Visit a local home and learn about Mangalorean homecooking in this unique culinary experience. Your host Wilma will open her home to you and teach you about the foods she grew up eating and serves to her family. Wilma is a seasoned home cook and loves to entertain. During your one-hour cooking demonstration Wilma will show you how she prepares Mangalorean specialties like appams (South Indian crepes made with fermented rice batter) or sannas (small, fluffy steamed cakes) with a chicken stew and a seasonal vegetable curry.
This experience is a wonderful way to gain insight into the local culture in Bangalore and spend time with a local who is eager to share her culture and cuisine with visitors!
Wilma will welcome you with a warm smile into her beautiful home and will show you the the little garden where she grows her own herbs. As you sip a welcome drink,Wilma will introduce you to Mangalorean cooking, which features an amalgamation of spices combined with fresh coconut or coconut milk and fresh fish, meat and vegetables. A speciality from Wilma’s kitchen are Mangalorean-style breads, which are typically made from rice flour. During your one-hour cooking demonstration, Wilma will show you the art of making appams (traditional South Indian rice crepes made with fermented rice batter) or sannas (small, fluffy steamed cakes) with a chicken stew and a seasonal vegetable curry. Please note that this is a cooking demonstration, not a hands-on cooking class. Then join Wilma at the dining table to taste a variety of Mangalorean favorites, some of which may have been prepared in advance. End your meal together on a sweet note with kheer (rice pudding) or gajar halwa (carrot pudding).
