Join Pranathi for a hands-on cooking class that begins with a cup of herbal tea and a walk through her home garden. Discover seasonal herbs and vegetables, learn about sustainable food-growing practices, and pick fresh ingredients to use in your cooking class. The class takes place in Pranathi's cozy home kitchen, or outdoors in the garden. Choose between a Nepali or South Indian menu and learn to cook two dishes from scratch in 1.5 hours. The Nepali menu may include dal bhat (lentils and rice) or alu ko achar (warm potato and sesame salad) and farsi ko munta (a seasonal delicacy made from pumpkin shoots). The South Indian menu may include rasam (a spicy and tangy soup) and thoran (stir-fried seasonal vegetables) or pachadi (a yogurt-based relish), or akki rotti (a rice flour flatbread) and yennegai with peanut chutney (stuffed baby eggplant). After cooking, sit down to enjoy the home-cooked meal you helped prepare. For the optional guided market tour in Kathmandu, starting with a walk to the bustling Naxal Tarkari Bazaar, a local vegetable market just 15 minutes away. Discover seasonal vegetables, fruits, and herbs, and learn how they are used in Nepali home cooking.
