Explore the culinary traditions of Agra with a cooking demonstration and in-home meal! Nagma lives just 10 minutes from the Taj Mahal and opens her home to travelers who are curious to learn more about the local way of cooking. Nagma is a seasoned homecook who believes in serving her family tasty, healthy food prepared with natural ingredients. She grinds all of her spices and mills her own wheat flour for homemade flatbreads, such as chapati, roti, naan and puri. She even makes her own paneer (fresh cheese), ghee (clarified butter), dahi (yogurt) and butter at home! Using these natural, healthy ingredients Nagma will demonstrate how to make a few dishes and then you'll gather at her table to taste the homemade meal.

      Great cooking lesson and wonderful lunch
      Highly recommend this wonderful experience in Agra. My wife and I had a fantastic cooking demonstration with Monica and then the best food we had during our trip to India. Lunch was delicious and the conversation with Monica and her husband Sanjeev was interesting and informative. Loved this experience and it was great to enjoy a wonderful lunch.

      Wonderful experience!
      Our group had a wonderful time at Nidhi's beautiful family home. It felt like we were visiting friends, thanks to their warmth and sincerity. We especially enjoyed Nidhi's cooking demo and the dishes she prepared for us. We left with our hearts and tummies full!

      Really Enjoyed the Experience
      Had no idea what to expect but we had been previously asked about allergies and likes and dislikes so we would not be confronted with food we really disliked. We were give a drink on arrival and shown to the kitchen were our host made chapatis and then we had a go. Geat fun. We also made 2 other dishes before we sat down and had a delicious meal with lots of dishes made previously. Great experience. We arranged our own taxi there and back.
