Rita will take you to a local market to discover local Goan produce. After that, the cooking class will take place in a local home kitchen where Rita will teach you how to make 2-3 traditional Indian dishes from their family recipes. After cooking, you will enjoy your meal together in your host's Goan home. • Market tour and cooking lesson in a local home • Introduction to India's culture and cuisine • 100% private activity • Experience Indian hospitality in a residential Goan neighborhood • Vegetarian options available
