Overview

Learn to cook a delicious Indian meal in North Goa with a chef in her home kitchen, during this private food experience. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. Reshma lives in a beautifully decorated apartment in Oxel, a village in Siolim, North Goa. It is adjoining the old ferry point at Chapora river, close to Morjim, Mandrem and Ashwem beach. You might be served a few dishes from her hometown in Maharashtra and a few from various parts of India that she has traveled to (Goa included!).

- Private cooking class in Goa in a chef's home
- Learn to cook dishes from different parts of India
- Meal will be served on a thali or on banana leaves
- Introduction to Indian spices, cooking techniques and culinary traditions
- Insight into the culture, cuisine and everyday lives of locals
- Reshma can accommodate vegetarian diets on request, please inform her in advance

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. During your Goa cooking class with Reshma in her small home kitchen, you can expect to learn to cook two regional dishes from different parts of India that you will be eating later. You may learn to prepare authentic dishes such as Lucknowi chicken or Kerala fish curry and madurai kola balls (meatballs) or bharela vanga (stuffed eggplant curry). Reshma is excited to share her culture through food through this traditional cooking class in Goa.

Alternatively, you can also choose a Goan thali - the dishes that will be served include Goan fish curry, fish fry, chicken curry, seasonal vegetable, chapati, rice and dessert. Please let Reshma know your preference while booking the experience. Your meal will be served in a thali or on banana leaves and will feature a masala (spice mix) called ‘tikkat’, which come from Reshma’s ancestral place in Kolhapur.

My husband and I had a wonderful day in Prerna's home in New Delhi. We met her family: Husband, two teen-age kids, her mother and father. Prerna and her mother had prepared a very delicious lunch with a series of regional dishes. All most tasty, and beautifully arranged. What was important too was that we shared the meal with all family members and hence got a chance to learn about the food/dishes in more detail and, not least, to get to know some aspects of family life in an affluent and very tasteful middle class setting (Prerna and her husband are architects). I can highly recommend this place to everyone who enjoys a well prepared meal in pleasant surroundings in the company of friendly and interesting people.
