You step through a low doorway into a family kitchen where stainless pans clink and the air carries the bright lift of coriander and the warm pull of roasted cumin. A host family greets you with chai; a wooden rolling pin waits on a floured board. The lesson begins in a working home, not a demonstration kitchen—expect hands-on prep, shared workstations and a meal you cooked together.
