What to expect

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Uma lives in a simple apartment in Gurgaon with her husband, Raghuraman, daughter, Gayatri, and son, Vishnu. She loves gardening and has a small terrace garden where she grows different herbs that she uses in her cooking. Enjoy a welcome drink panagam, made with jaggery, and snack on some mini idlis (savory cakes) with chutney as Uma tells you all about south Indian food. She will show you the spices and masalas that she uses in her cooking, most which she prefers to mix at home. Your meal will be served in the traditional way on banana leaves and might include dishes such as tamarind rice, coconut rice, mint pulao (Uma’s mother’s special dish) served with achari tomato raita (yogurt), garlic and pepper rasam (a tangy tamarind soup), appalam (a savory pancake made with fermented rice batter), or urulai roast (potato). End your meal with a traditional dessert of curd rice, pickle and payasam (rice pudding).
