About this tour

What to expect
You'll be picked up from your hotel and driven to a family home kitchen in Jodhpur. Once there, your host will walk you through prep work—chopping vegetables, toasting spices, measuring flour—then guide you step-by-step through cooking each dish. You'll handle the stirring, kneading, and pan work yourself; the host corrects technique and explains why each step matters for flavour and texture.
After 2.5 to 3 hours of cooking, you'll sit down together and eat the full menu you've prepared. The session wraps with tea or coffee. Transport back to your accommodation is included.

Good to know
This suits anyone curious about regional Indian cooking who wants to go beyond a restaurant meal—especially vegetarian travellers keen to master meat-free Rajasthani staples. No prior cooking skill is needed. The workshop is physically active (standing, chopping, stirring for 3+ hours), so reasonable mobility helps. The kitchen uses mineral water for all cooking. It's wheelchair accessible, and prams are welcome if you're travelling with infants. Group size isn't specified, so confirm whether it's private (just you) or shared with other bookings. Peak tourist season may affect availability.
