Hands-on Indian cooking class in Mumbai, learn to cook authentic dishes with Lavina in her home kitchen. Looking for fun things to do in Mumbai or interested in learning authentic Indian cuisine? Join Lavina for a 1.5-hour hands-on Mumbai cooking class where you’ll learn to cook two traditional Indian dishes. During this interactive cooking class, Lavina will teach you how to fry crispy dosas (please note, the dosa batter needs to be fermented in advance, so it will be pre-prepared for the class), prepare a flavorful potato stuffing, and make a delicious semolina pineapple halwa.

We had a great time… Lavina was very kind and friendly. We learned how to make dosas and the potato stuffing and a pineapple semolina… everything was delicious. Her children were there and they were sweet and helpful. We got lots of pictures and had a great time! She was helpful giving us tips of everything to do in Mumbai!
The host was amazing. She made us feel so welcome and part of her family! The cooking experience is a must try and I felt part of home too. 10/10 experience
Great experience - would highly recommend. Lovely host - incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. One of the highlights of my India trip!
We highly recommend this cooking experience! The host provided a hands-on experience that was both educational and fun. We laughed a lot and learned a lot about the city of Mumbai and Indian cuisine.
My 2 teenage sons and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience! It was informative, fun, and really delicious! Lavina was a great host and we learned so much. We will definitely come back to learn more Indian dishes when we come back to Mumbai!
5 * cooking experience with Lavina and her lovely family. Attention to detail and considering guests needs was exceptional.
Lavina, Pinky and Lavina’s children were very welcoming and put on a lovely evening for us. My mum and I got the full Indian cuisine experience, shown by Lavina, who relayed her exceptional knowledge of Indian cooking to us. We shared stories with one another, as if we had known each other for years. This experience was everything I expected and more and I will always having lasting memories from it. I couldn’t recommend it more!
The home was in a great location and very neat. We learned some insights about living and commuting in Mumbai. We also learned about how this family handled a pregnancy/ new child in the family
