Amazing course, Kanchan goes into lots of depth explaining spice blends and the real basics of Indian cooking as well as transforming that into all sorts of different dishes. Highly recommend for both amateurs and more experienced cooks.

Our Host Kanchan was so lovely and a really good teacher. As she owns a restaurant be sure to get loads of good tips for breaking down the complexity in indian cooking.

She tought us a lot of different dishes and how to wary these basic gravy’s into plenty of options so it never gets boring.

Suitable for vegetarians as she made special treats next to the main dishes and most of the dishes were veggie - meat etc. can be added to ones liking in the end.

Can’t wait to try it out at home ❤️

An absolute highlight of our time in Goa! My partner and I had the best time learning the secrets of authentic Indian spices. The atmosphere was warm, the instructions were clear, and the food we made together was delicious. A must-do for couples!

A lovely introduction to the art of Indian cooking!
We learnt how to prepare many different dishes (including butter chicken and palak paneer) and each one of them was delicious!
Highly recommend it!

This is not an industrial cooking class, but an afternoon in a home with an auntie who makes you feel like part of the family. The cooking class was totally personalized to our needs and requests- including avoiding food allergy triggers, having a meat and a a veg option for the two of us who have different diets, and customizing the menu to include dishes we had tried at our yoga retreat and wanted to learn. The smoked eggplant and butter chicken / paneer for veg were AMAZING! As was everything else. She kept bringing out new snacks for us to try along the way. 100% recommended. By the way, she really means it when she says don’t eat before coming- you will make so many dishes and be so stuffed! In a good way. ☺️

This was one of the highlights of my time in Goa. The hosts are incredibly warm, welcoming and make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. The class is hands-on, fun and easy to follow. Kanchan explain every spice, ingredient and technique so clearly.

I cooked several dishes (including breads), and everything turned out delicious. I loved that the recipes were practical and something I can easily recreate at home. The whole experience felt personal, relaxed and full of genuine hospitality.

Highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Goa, whether you’re a beginner or love cooking, you’ll have an amazing time and an unforgettable meal!

This was a fantastic cooking course for me and my family.

The hosts (Kanchan & AJ) were amazing and they went out of their way to ensure we had the best time.
They are obviously very well experienced in the art of Indian cuisine, but were also able to communicate this clearly to some beginner cooks!

We decided to bring our children to this and they were extremely hospitable and able to include them in the course also.

We also shared this course with a lovely solo traveller and they made us all feel very welcome.

The follow-up from this course and the information, recipes, and support provided is outstanding.

Palolem Is an amazing place, but there is not loads of activities to do however make sure you do this one, you will not regret it !
