The Jaipur cooking class is a hands-on session making a Rajasthani thali, the region's desert-adapted food built around dal baati churma, gatte ki sabzi and, for meat eaters, the fiery laal maas. You cook alongside a local host or chef and sit down to eat everything you make.
What you cook
Rajasthani food is built for the desert: dal baati churma (lentils with baked wheat rolls and a sweet crumble), gatte ki sabzi (gram-flour dumplings in a spiced yoghurt gravy), and for meat eaters the fiery laal maas, all traditionally eaten together as a thali, a full plate of small dishes rather than one large one. The class covers a working selection of these dishes, adjusted to a vegetarian-only group on request, cooked from scratch with a local host or chef talking through technique and ingredient choices as you go.
Welcome and market talk
A short introduction to the spices and ingredients used, some sourced that morning.
Hands-on cooking
You cook several thali dishes alongside your host, in stages so nothing is left waiting.
Baati and churma
The baked wheat rolls and sweet crumble that give the dish its name, made and finished together.
Sit-down meal
Everyone eats what they cooked as a full thali, seated together rather than standing at a counter.

5/51 week agoHonest pricing with no surprises. What we were quoted is what we paid, entry tickets included, and the guide waved off the usual hangers-on at the monuments without any fuss.

5/51 month agoOur guide knew every corner and never rushed us. He noticed my mother was tiring and quietly found a shaded bench and a chai before we even asked. Small things like that made the whole day.

4/51 month agoA lovely, well-organised trip. Only small gripe is that the morning pickup was fifteen minutes late on day one. Everything after that was punctual to the minute, so I suspect it was a one-off.
