Your menu may include dishes such as mutter paneer (peas and Indian cheese in a spiced onion and tomato gravy), chicken curry, dal, rotis, rice, raita, and dessert (without which no meal created by chocolatier Jyoti is complete).

Please have your driver call before you depart to get directions to Jyoti's home as maps can be confusing in India
