Experience Details

Enjoy a private and authentic home-cooked meal with your host Himanshu in his ancestral home. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. Himanshu learned to cook from his mother and maternal grandfather from whom he inherited the family's unique recipes. Himanshu’s wife Deepti is an interior designer, and you can catch glimpses of her work around the house. Himanshu has been in the hospitality business since 2006 - he is a trained wildlife guide, an avid photographer and a national-level shooter. Himanshu and Deepti love to share their passion for Rajasthani food with travelers visiting Jaipur. “I look forward to sharing the recipes of the food that we serve on the table because I feel that is the best way to promote our cuisine and tell the world about our cuisine.”

What You’ll Experience

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Himanshu and Deepti live in a traditional family home with their children and three well-behaved dogs. They belong to an erstwhile noble family called Nimaj, a fiefdom of the Marwar state of Rajasthan. Join Himanshu in his kitchen and learn about Indian spices and how they are used in the cooking process. Next learn to cook chicken kachri handi soola (a traditional chicken dish) and bharwa baingan (eggplant) or safed aloo (potatoes cooked in an almond gravy). These recipes are from the noble families of Nimaj and Chomu. Your cooking lesson will last about 1.5 hours before you sit down to share the authentic Rajasthani meal you helped prepare with Himanshu and Deepti. You will end your meal with a traditional dessert like keshri kheer (rice pudding flavored with saffron and cardamom) and tea or coffee.
