About this activity
Meet Pallavi, your host for an incredible few hours of indulging in a Mumbai street food inspired feast at her beautiful home at Nariman Point in South Mumbai. Pallavi will welcome you with a refreshing drink and give you a locals perspective on Mumbai and its street food. Pallavi lives with her husband and daughter. After getting married she learned to cook from her mother, mother-in-law and the family maharaj (cook) but it was her father-in-law who gave her the most encouragement and taught her how to pair ingredients. 25 years later she has put this knowledge to use where she curates menus for her catering service. When not in the kitchen, she enjoys watching tennis, cricket, reading and listening to music.

Learn how to assemble your own Pani Puris (known by many names in India, these bite sized balls give you sweet, sour, tangy, spicy all in one bite. Note- you have to put one full piece in your mouth :) From Pav Bhaaji ("Fast food" that is what this dish is. Mixed vegetables smashed in to make a spicy semi dry curry accompanied by butter fried mini bite sized breads) to Vada Pav (Of all the street food in Mumbai, this one has turned out to be the darling of the masses. A crispy fried ball of spicy potato is layered in pav (Indian bread) served with sweet and tangy chutney), you will get to enjoy a variety of Mumbai street foods. End your experience by relishing some delicious Kulfi (a slightly more dense and creamier ice cream). Best part of it all? It is all homemade!

The entire experience will last for about 2-3 hours.

Please note: This is not a professional cooking class. This is an unique opportunity to interact with a local and learn some tips and tricks of Indian cooking and enjoy a lovely home-cooked meal over great conversions.
