Indian Cooking Class in Delhi
New Delhi, India
About This Activity
Delhi home cooking classes typically begin with a spice-market visit before moving to a home kitchen where you make 3–4 North Indian dishes — dal makhani, chana masala, palak paneer, and fresh roti. Well-reviewed operators include Delhi Cooking Class ($45/person, 3–4h, market visit included) and Saffron Palate (~$50–85/person with full market walk). All send you home with recipes and a spice pack. Book 24–48 hours ahead; classes available morning and afternoon.
Seasonal note: Available year-round. Winter months are most comfortable; some operators incorporate seasonal ingredients like sarson (mustard greens) in December–January.
