Jaipur Market Tour & Vegetarian Rajasthani Home Cooking Class

Learn Indian Cooking Secrets

We went shopping for vegetables and found ourselves peeling, cutting and chopping ingredients in preparation for the cooking. We made masala chai tea, pakoras, bitter gourd, okra, eggplant, lentils, and potato masala bread. We learned about Indian cooking secrets and met Shalini's endearing family. It was a great experience overall. Many thanks, Shalini.

Home Cooking at its Best!!

What a treat to be guided through some markets and then welcomed into the home of such a warm, lovely woman. I felt like an honored guest—put to work just a bit peeling, chopping, spicing, and stirring, but mostly enjoyed the ambiance and aromas and discussions about food and life in Jaipur. The teens were there to talk cricket and school and a little politics. I learned how to make three different kinds of naan and three different vegetarian dishes, all of which were delicious.

Highly recommend Shallinis cooking experience. 10/10

Shallinis cooking experience was excellent from start to finish. My wife is a vegetarian chef and thoroughly enjoyed cooking with Shallini and spending time with her lovely family, and learning new techniques. We visited local markets where we went through the herbs and spices we would use, purchased vegetables and then back to her lovely spotlessly clean home to prepare and cook. We then were invited to join her family for an evening meal. Certainly a highlight of our trip to India.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this thoughtful and generous review. We are delighted to hear that Shalini’s cooking experience was such a highlight of your trip to India. It is especially wonderful to know that your wife, as a vegetarian chef, found the experience enriching and enjoyed learning new techniques. Visiting the local markets, exploring herbs and spices together, and then cooking in Shalini’s home before sharing an evening meal with her family truly reflects the heart of what she loves to offer. Shalini will be so happy to hear your kind words. We are grateful you chose Traveling Spoon and would be thrilled to welcome you both again on a future culinary journey.

A great learning experience with a friendly and helpful teacher.

We had an excellent time with Shalini visiting local shops and then returning to her home to cook. Shalini was a patient and generous teacher, teaching us not just the recipes, but how the recipes are structured. Lunch of the cooked meal with her family was a bonus.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We are delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful time with Shalini, from visiting the local shops to cooking together in her home. Shalini will be so happy to know that you appreciated not only the recipes but also the deeper understanding of how they are structured. That kind of knowledge stays with you long after the trip ends. Sharing the meal with her family is always a special touch, and we are glad it made the experience even more meaningful. Thank you again for choosing Traveling Spoon. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable culinary experience in the future.
