Rural Farm Experience in Samode Village outside Jaipur

1. 30m
   After the 1.5 hour drive from Jaipur, stop at Samode Bagh, a gorgeous property owned by a royal family in the countryside of Samode. Here you will be treated to a cup of tea or coffee before you depart in a car and ride 15min with Mohan to the Samode Village. You will take a walking tour through the village, exploring the working life of ironsmiths and artisans. You will then drive 10min in the car with Mohan to his farmhouse. At the 40-acre farm you will walk through fields of seasonal vegetables such as cauliflower, radish, carrots and aloe vera. You may even pick a few vegetables on your stroll back to the farmhouse to prepare a farm fresh meal with Mohan’s wife and mother. In an outdoor courtyard, you will watch Mohan’s wife and mother prepare a vegetarian Rajasthani meal. They cook fresh vegetables in homegrown spices over a wood fire and land will teach you how to grind fresh garlic chutney. You will then share this vegetarian Rajasthani meal with Mohan at the farm table.
   
   You might sample dishes such as gobhi hara tamatar ki sabzi (cauliflower cooked with green tomatoes and cumin), mogri aur balol aloo ki sabzi (a variety of beans and potatoes cooked in onions and spices), aloo ka jhol (potato curry), lasun dhaniya ki chutney (freshly ground garlic and cilantro chutney), bharwan deshi mirach (stuffed local green chilies), bhatwe ka raita (amaranth leaves in yoghurt), namkeen chawal (rice with vegetables), gahoon ki roti (wheat bread) and masala cchach (buttermilk with roasted cumin and rock salt).
   
   Your meal concludes with homemade chai made from milk from the cows you are surrounded by on this beautiful rural farm.
   
   Please note, this experience is not a professional cooking class or tour, rather it is meant to be a visit into an authentic, local home to meet a local person and share the culture and cuisine together.
