In-home meal (2 - 10 guests) Pratibha cooks healthy, balanced vegetarian food. As you enter her beautiful home, enjoy a homemade lime mint cooler spiked with guavas, apples or grapes. Then you will sit down to eat a healthy vegetarian meal that focuses on local, seasonal vegetables and lentils. She believes in balanced tastes, for egs, the sweetness of carrots in her soup is balanced by the earthy flavors of cloves and coriander. As you share a meal together, hear about the various properties of the ingredients she uses and how they benefit the body and mind. This experience is unique and memorable - you get to visit a local home and meet an award-winning cookbook author to share Indian culture and cuisine.
When making your booking, please state your choice of cuisine among these three: an Ayurvedic meal or South Indian Andhra thali or Rajasthani meal.
