Jaipur: Cooking Classes
The Vibe:A home kitchen, and the recipes to take home.
Rajasthani home cooking is largely vegetarian and built on gram flour, lentils and yoghurt. Jaipur's classes are usually run from family kitchens rather than commercial schools, which is what distinguishes them.
Spices are dry-roasted until the kitchen fills with the smell. Dough is worked by hand while conversation runs across the counter.
- Most Jaipur classes are hosted in family homes rather than commercial kitchens
- Sessions are typically vegetarian, reflecting everyday Rajasthani cooking
- Several include a guided market visit to buy the ingredients first
