Shveta, a former primary school teacher and passionate home cook, runs a charming homestay in a quiet suburb of Jaipur. She honed her culinary skills under the guidance of her mother, mastering the rich flavors of traditional Indian cuisine.

Together, as avid world travelers, they create an unforgettable experience for their guests—Shveta delights with her cooking, while Kul entertains with stories and conversation.
Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.
In-home meal (1 - 8 guests) Your private, in-home dining experience begins with Shveta and Kul warmly welcoming you into their contemporary home, set to the soothing sounds of Indian music. Enjoy a refreshing welcome drink of nimbu pani or jal jeera before sitting down to a feast featuring aloo tikki, pakoras, chicken curry, rajma, seasonal vegetables, dal, roti, jeera rice, and dessert. Some dishes may even include organic vegetables grown on Shveta’s rooftop, adding a personal touch to this delightful culinary journey.
Cooking experience (1 - 8 guests) Join Shveta in her Jaipur kitchen for a private cooking class where you'll learn to craft a traditional North Indian meal. Under her expert guidance, you’ll prepare 3-5 authentic dishes like aloo gobhi (spiced cauliflower and potatoes), chicken curry, daal, and Indian bread. After the hands-on experience, sit down with Shveta and Kul to savor the delicious meal you’ve created together, making this a truly immersive and unforgettable culinary journey.
Notes: Shveta and Kul run a homestay from their home, so you may encounter other guests in the dining room during your meal. However, your Traveling Spoon cooking experience with Shveta will remain a private and personalized session, ensuring an intimate and immersive culinary adventure.
