You can spend a year travelling the country and not repeat a dish! No wonder then that cooking classes and culinary experiences have become popular.

Her venture, Saffron Palate, is dedicated towards providing the global traveller an authentic indian home and kitchen experience. Her classes cover dishes that range from the traditional to the more contemporary. So guests learn how to make butter chicken and naan or even Chindian classics!

The main cooking programme is focused on learning to cook Indian dishes and guests learn how to make four main course dishes and three types of Indian breads.
