This is a unique opportunity to visit and explore a new culture and cuisine. Noopur will welcome you with a big smile into her cute and cozy apartment that gives you a quick glimpse of the shimmering Burj Khalifa after sundown. Join Noopur in her kitchen, where you will learn how to prepare 1-2 authentic vegetarian Gujarati dishes with the same spices, ingredients and cooking techniques that have been handed down for generations. A Gujarati meal is incomplete without accompaniments, so you will help her make the chutney and banana raita, fry the papad and arrange them with a variety of pickles on the dining table where you will share the meal.
