Kerala Cooking Class in Munnar: Learn 6 Dishes

Cook six Kerala dishes and learn what makes them healthy

A four-hour cooking class in Munnar where you learn to prepare six traditional Kerala dishes, from breakfast staples like appam and dosa to the elaborate curries of a Kerala meal. A live English-speaking guide walks you through each dish, explains the health benefits, and covers the spices that give Kerala food its distinctive flavor. Pickup from your hotel is included. Dinner is served at the end of class. Maximum six people per session. Let the operator know if you need vegetarian options.

The experience

Six traditional Kerala dishes form the core of this class, and you'll work through them hands-on with instruction on technique and ingredients. The menu spans Kerala's range: breakfast items like appam, dosa, idli, puttu and tapioca sit alongside the curries (sambar, aviyal, kichadi, thoran, pappadom, rasam and curd) that make up a full Kerala meal. The guide explains not just how to cook each one but why the spices and preparation methods matter for digestion and nutrition, which is part of what makes Kerala cuisine one of India's most respected food traditions.

You're picked up from your hotel at 2 pm, and the class runs four hours. The group stays small, no more than six people, so there's room to ask questions and watch closely as each dish comes together. If you eat vegetarian, let the operator know before the class so they can adjust the menu. Dinner is included, so you eat what you've learned at the end of the session.

Is this one for you?The four-hour window means you can fit the class into an afternoon and still have your evening free, but it's long enough to move through six dishes without rushing and to sit down to dinner together at the end.
