Learn to cook in Uma's kitchen South Indian vegetarian dishes with a creative touch. Start your experience with a visit to her terrace garden where you might pick a few seasonal vegetables or herbs to use in your cooking experience. During your 1.5 hour Chennai cooking experience learn to cook 3 dishes. Share the meal you helped prepare at Uma's dining table over conversation about life in South India. Uma includes a variety of healthy and flavorful vegetables in her food in a unique way that you don't typically find elsewhere.

This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy traditional South Indian cuisine with a creative twist made by a local who lives close to the airport. Uma prepares a delightful array of vegetarian festival foods to give you an insight into Tamilian cuisine and culture. Learn about the symbolism of kolam (rice flour drawings that most Tamilian households have) and about traditional utensils and musical instruments. Join Uma at her dining table to enjoy a vegetarian menu that may include tangerine rasam (a tangy, refreshing broth made with tomatoes, pepper and citrus), beetroot vada (deep fried beetroot and multigrain dumplings), vegetable poriyal (stir-fried vegetables with coconut) and sundal (an absolutely delicious green pea and chickpea salad garnished with coconut and raw mango) accompanied by rice and pickles. Your meal concludes with dessert. Uma serves her food on bio degradable, eco-friendly palm leaf pressed plates. Occasionally, Uma's friend Mala may join you at the table.
