Description

Good to Know

What sets this experience apart is the opportunity to cook a complete North Indian meal from scratch in a real Mumbai home, guided step-by-step by Bijal. Guests don’t just follow a recipe, they learn how to confidently use Indian spices, understand flavour balance and recreate dishes back home. The class is intentionally small and highly interactive, so every guest gets personal guidance in Bijal’s home kitchen. Even after the experience, guests can reach out for recipe support and cooking tips, making this a practical, skill-building experience that stays with them long after their trip to Mumbai.

Meals

Hands on cooking with ingredients, spices and equipment, step-by-step guidance, small-group attention, spice intro, recipe notes, full meal with beverages, aprons and post-class support

Alcoholic beverages

Hotel pickup and drop-off, alcoholic beverages, additional takeaway food beyond the meal cooked in class, personal shopping of spices or ingredients after the class (can be guided on request)

1. The experience begins with a warm welcome into a home kitchen, where you'll be introduced to the rich and diverse world of North Indian cuisine. You'll get an overview of the key spices and ingredients that form the backbone of Indian cooking, and you'll receive written recipe notes of the day's menu to take home with you. 2. Next comes meal prep, where you'll start to explore the flavour profiles and aromas that make Indian food so distinctive. This is a hands-on, sensory experience, you'll smell, touch, and taste as you go, building an understanding of why each ingredient plays its role. 3. Then the real fun begins. You'll roll up your sleeves and cook a complete North Indian meal from scratch, learning traditional techniques step by step with full guidance throughout. You'll be actively participating at every stage. 4. Once the cooking is done, sit down together to enjoy the freshly made meal in a warm, home dining setting, the most rewarding part of the whole experience. 5. The session wraps up with photos with your food and a full belly, and you'll leave with your recipe notes, new skills, and memories of a truly authentic Indian home cooking experience.

A great experience

This workshop was more than just food, it was a full experience. From understanding the ingredients to actually seeing the North Indian dishes' preparation, everything felt very personal and authentic. I enjoy cooking these dishes for myself when I invite my friends over. Perfect for anyone who want to experience real Indian home cooking.

Great experience for Punjabi Class

Had such a lovely experience with Bijal’s Food Creations! I traveled from Calcutta and was interested in taking a local cooking class for a day. The Indian Punjabi food felt incredibly homely and full of flavor, you can really tell it’s made with a lot of care and passion. The entire experience was warm, welcoming, and Bijal Shah had so much patience. This is something I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to try authentic home-style Indian food :D

A highlight in Mumbai

Bijal’s cooking class was the only one in Mumbai that a solo traveler could sign up for (at least on that day), so I was really grateful to find it. She was very warm and accommodating, and upon learning my favorite dish, replaced one of her planned menu items with it so I could learn how to make it. Together we made palak paneer, dal tadka, jeera rice and garlic naan from scratch. Everything came out delicious! Bijal is an experienced teacher, and aside from how to make them, I learned how mult...read more
