Royal Mewari Cooking Class in a 18th Century Udaipur Castle

Your in-home cooking and dining experience in Udaipur takes place in Raghav’s ancestral home which is an 18th century castle. It is a beautiful, palace-like home decorated with historic artifacts and has a large courtyard with a bird’s eye view of the city. The courtyard also has an 18th century family temple that has been restored beautifully, adding to the elegant charm of their home. While you sip on your welcome drink Raghav will give you great insight into Mewari and Rajasthani food, culture and traditions.

Your Udaipur cooking class will be conducted by the resident chef, who has worked with Raghav and his family for the many years and knows all the secret family recipes! He will reveal a few closely-guarded secrets behind the Mewar cuisine of Indian royalty. The royal cuisine of Mewar is usually simple and rustic yet flavorful and makes heavy use of dried and fresh fruits, spices, meat, and seasonal vegetables. In your 1-hour hands-on cooking class, you will join the family chef to make dishes such as hare bater (farmed quails in a green curry) and dal chitrakoot (lentils from Chittor) and will learn to combine local produce with old traditional recipes.
