What to expect

Discover Maharashtrian food from market to table with Chef Reshma in Mumbai. Begin with a visit to a local Santacruz market, where Reshma introduces you to the fresh vegetables, spices and ingredients used in everyday Maharashtrian cooking. Then return to her home kitchen for a hands-on cooking class, preparing 2–3 regional dishes together.

Reshma will welcome you into her apartment with a refreshing drink. You’ll then head to the Santacruz market (perhaps by rickshaw!) and pick up fresh ingredients for the meal that you will prepare together. Reshma will show you the different fruits, vegetables and spices available and explain how to select the best ones. During your cooking class with Reshma in her small kitchen, you can expect to learn to make 2-3 of the regional Maharashtrian dishes you will be eating. You may learn to prepare authentic dishes such as junka (gram flour), chicken masala or a seasonal vegetable, typical of what the family eats everyday.

Learn practical Indian cooking techniques and the secrets behind Maharashtrian flavors before sitting down with Reshma to enjoy the homemade meal you've prepared together. Your meal concludes with a dessert and coffee or chai.
