This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Your experience starts with a welcome drink before you share a traditional Mewadi cooking class & meal with Akshay and his family in their home in Udaipur. In your Udaipur cooking class learn to cook a traditional Rajasthani meal from Akshay's mom and sister in their small, traditional kitchen. Since his mother does not speak English, Akshay and his sister will be your translators. After cooking, sit down to share a few home-style dishes that you helped prepare such as dal bhati churma (an essential Rajasthani dish of lentils served with wheat rolls which have been painted with ghee), ghatte sabzi (a regional dish of dumplings in a flavorful curry sauce) or bharva baingan (stuffed eggplant with garlic), navrattan pulao or homemade breads like parathas. For dessert you might taste sooji ka halwa, a typical home-style sweet made from semolina. Your meal concludes with a traditional masala chai or lemon tea or, if you prefer, black tea or coffee.
