What to expect

Kajal is the chef and she’s based in Mumbai. Coming from a very traditional Indian Family, she learned cooking these authentic recipes from her mom and her older sister. In 2017 she started food tours and Pav Bhaji is one of the most popular dishes in Mumbai (India). Available times are in Indian Standard Time. This Maharashtra delicacy is served in almost all big hotels and roadside eateries, and has a savoury taste. It is a thick vegetable curry made from seasonal vegetables, potatoes, tomatoes and onions served with pav, which is bread roll topped with butter. It is best served hot. The word 'pav' comes from the Portuguese word for bread and 'bhaji' in Marathi means a vegetable dish. Rice Kheer is a traditional Indian sweet dessert made for festivals and occasions. As we are bringing this authentic experience to you from our small home in India, we hope you understand that we are not able to deliver professional-level videography, but will do our absolute best to bring you an incredible cooking experience and share our culture with you! Please note that the available times are in IST time zone (Indian Standard Time).
