Discover the flavors of South India with Sundari in her Chennai home as you prepare traditional Tamil Brahmin vegetarian recipes using time-honored techniques. From crispy vadai and flavorful sambar to creamy payasam and filter coffee, you'll cook, dine, and connect over recipes that have been passed down through generations. After cooking together, share a delicious homemade meal served on banana leaves while learning about local customs and everyday life.
Learn to prepare authentic South Indian vegetarian dishes, discover the cultural significance behind each recipe, and enjoy your homemade meal served on a traditional banana leaf. This immersive experience offers a genuine glimpse into Chennai's food, culture, and hospitality. Your experience begins with a tour of Sundari’s home and an introduction to the dishes you will prepare. Then join her in the kitchen for your hands-on Chennai cooking class. As a Tamil Brahmin, Sundari prepares only vegetarian food, and together you will cook 3 dishes that form a traditional South Indian meal. Enjoy your meal the local way, eating with your hands from stainless steel plates or banana leaves. Choose the optional market visit to walk with Sundari to the nearby Sastri Nagar neighborhood supermarket where she shops. She will introduce you to South Indian spices, fresh produce, and pantry staples, and help you purchase spices to take home. Please note this visit is to a neighborhood supermarket rather than an open market.
