Amazing cooking workshop in Alappuzha.
This was an amazing experience. As an avid home cook, this was still something completely new, and the paratha-making part of the workshop especially was amazing. Rejula has a fun personality, and really knows her cooking. It was especially nice that we could choose which dishes we would learn. I would recommend this workshop to anyone staying in Alappuzha!

Very fun!
A really fun experience with Mrs Rejula and her husband! She messaged us the day before to ask what we wanted to cook and was happy to oblige with our requests. She made us fresh mango juice whilst we cooled down and chatted to her husband for 30 mins then we began cooking. We made fish pollichathu and parottas (not enough time for more dishes so she had made ahead our other request of coconut fish curry and also made a chickpea curry and appam). It was really fun cooking we got very involved and learnt some new skills! Mrs Rejula has great energy, is very welcoming and fun and has a very infectious laugh, we spent a lot of time laughing. She offered us fresh fruit throughout the class. At the end we got to eat a massive feast and even given more fruit and offered ice cream! Overall it took about 3.5 hours. Can’t wait to make these dishes at home.

Awesome experience and delicious food
Very good experience! Can fully recommend!
Rejula and her husband welcomed us very warmly in their home with some tasty drinks. After a little chatting we started cooking the dishes. The day before Rejula asked us whether we have any preferred dishes to cook. We chose Kerala Porotta and Kurma. We also did Idiyappam and chickpea curry. Rejula explained the different dishes and is a great teacher. We had lots of fun and the food was really tasty. We will definitely try some of these at home.

A must do experience- authentic and delicious cooking class
We just LOVED being welcomed into Mr and Mrs.Rejula Noushad’s house. We learnt how to make traditional porotta, idiyappam and appam, as well as fresh fish curry. We then sat in their dining table to eat the feast (with some additional dishes pre prepared). We finished the experience chatting on the couch over ice cream and fruit. Highly recommend this class, and am grateful for the experience. 10/10

Great Kerala cooking class
We had a very nice cooking class from Rejula in Allepey. We learned how to make porotta and appam and Kerala curry. Rejula took good care of us and had everything well prepared. The food was delicious!
We will come back next trip to learn more!

Our favorite experience in Alleppey!
Mrs. Rajula's cooking class was so much fun! My husband and I absolutely loved learning how to cook traditional Kerala dishes from her. She invited us into her home and we cooked several dishes right in her own kitchen, which was incredibly organized and clean. Mrs. Rajula is an expert in the kitchen and she made it easy to understand how to prepare the dishes. I can't wait to cook them at home in the USA! She was so funny and kept the class light hearted and enjoyable.
Prior to cooking, she served us coffee and tea and we had a chance to chat with her and her husband about life in Kerala. She is a great conversationalist. After we made the food we all ate at her dinner table, with her husband, and we took turns playing our favorite songs on his very nice stereo.
I absolutely recommend taking this cooking class. It's a unique experience in Alleppey!
