Our family had a wonderful cooking demonstration with Kavitha. She is a great host and takes time to explain the different spices and history of the food that we prepared. The meal was delicious - paneer butter masala, tadka daal, and rasmalai. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience!

Kavitha was a great host who taught us all about Indian cooking! We enjoyed a great meal of makhani paneer, garlic naan, and dal. Would definitely recommend.
