Overview

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.

Shivani and her husband warmly welcomed me to their home. They were generous with their time. I loved the market walk and bought spices to bring home. The food we prepared was delicious and I am less intimidated about trying to cook Indian food at home now. I was well looked after as a solo traveler. A fantastic experience overall.

What a wonderful evening we had with Shivani. She was an excellent hostess and just so fun to visit with. We enjoyed our trip to the local market with her and learning all about how it works. Then we came back to her lovely home and prepared several dishes together and enjoyed eating dinner with her and her husband. It was just a great evening and I would recommend it to anyone.

Farheen was very cheerful, kind and always willing to answer any questions we had about anything including Indian cultures, markets, foods, and more. Took us for a proper walk through a local spice market, explaining the uses of several different spices and their significance to Indian cooking, which she is very passionate about. After that we were welcomed to her apartment where we were met by her lovely family who made us feel at home as we prepared our meal and shared it together. Overall highly recommended when in Delhi.
