What you'll do

Celebrate the tantalizing, high-energy flavors of India right here in San Jose! In this hands-on workshop, you will dive into the bustling world of northern Indian street food. This isn't just a cooking class—it’s an interactive, multi-sensory dining experience where every single bite delivers an explosion of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy notes.

Whether you want to shake up your next corporate outing, plan a lively celebration, spark some romance, or master a completely new culinary art, this soulful class is designed to bring people together over incredible food.

Why This Experience is Perfect For You:

Corporate & Team Building: Street food is all about fast-paced fun, sharing, and high energy. This class breaks down corporate barriers as your team collaborates to assemble vibrant chaat plates, fostering laughter, creative plating, and great conversation.
Date Night & Romance: Looking for an exciting, unconventional date night? Ditch the quiet restaurant and get messy in the kitchen together! Scurrying around the spice station and sharing a burst of flavors makes for an unforgettable, playful evening.
Parties & Celebrations: The ultimate, festive backdrop for milestone birthdays, bridal showers, or family reunions. Indian street food is inherently social, making it the perfect centerpiece for a lively party.
Learn Something New: Perfect for foodies and curious cooks! You'll master the delicate balance of street-style chutneys, learn how to handle authentic textures, and walk away with unique recipes that will stun your future dinner guests.
Mindfulness & Wellness: Our menu is 100% vegetarian, wholesome, and completely customizable. The colorful variety of fresh herbs, active assembly, and soothing sips of chai offer a beautiful, grounding experience to help your group unplug and recharge.

What to Expect:

You’ll be welcomed with a traditional hot drink before your experienced instructor guides you step-by-step through each recipe. You will learn the secrets to frying the perfect crispy pakoda, balancing sweet and sour chutneys, and building complex flavors from scratch. To wrap it all up, you will sit down with your group to enjoy a magnificent, interactive street food feast.

The Menu:

The Welcome Drink: Authentic, house-brewed Masala Chai to warm your soul as you arrive.
The Crispy Crunch: Gobi Pakoda (perfectly spiced cauliflower fritters) paired with a vibrant green chutney.
The Flavor Bomb: Dahi Puri, stuffed with potatoes and chickpeas, then drizzled with sweet & sour tamarind chutney and cooling yogurt.
The Savory Classic: Hearty Matar Chaat, layered and served with a burst of fresh herbs.
The Side: A complimentary, fragrant bowl of Jeera (cumin) Rice to perfectly round out your plates.
The Grand Finale: A decadent house-special sweet to end your culinary journey on a perfect note.

Booking & Dietary Notes: This experience is fully customizable. All dishes are completely vegetarian and can be adjusted for gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free diets upon request. We love hosting private corporate teams, wellness events, date nights, and private parties!

Recent reviews of Indian Street Food Cooking Class

5/5 from Brianna Robertson, attended Oct 2026: Best cooking class ever! Our host was friendly, welcoming, informative, and adjusted the recipes on the fly. The food was delicious and I truly learned how to make traditional Indian street food, the spices, and techniques. I'll be making some of these at home myself soon.
5/5 from Debbie Richter, attended Oct 2026: The class was great. She customized it to fit our groups specific needs. Instead of being guests I’m her home we were friends. She made us feel so comfortable and welcome. The food was excellent and we learned a lot about Indian cooking and spices. Thank you Parsati
5/5 from Vicky Gianella, attended May 2026: Absolutely incredible class! Chef Parsati is such a delight—she truly exudes passion and excitement for both cooking and culture. Her energy is infectious, and she has a wonderful way of making everyone feel welcome and capable in the kitchen. I left not only with a full stomach but with a much deeper appreciation for the traditions behind the dishes.
5/5 from Nayan S. Patel, attended Jan 2025: Enjoyed the class very much. I am looking forward to signing up for more classes with Paru.
5/5 from Eleanor Butac, attended Dec 2024: Chef Parsati was a delight. I love Indian food but was always intimidated thinking it would be difficult to cook. Chef Parsati took her time to explain and show us how to make three dishes, all of which were so simple in hindsight once we knew how to season and prepare the dishes. I would definitely come back and take another class.
5/5 from Guy Peled, attended May 2024: Chef Paro hits the spot again! This is our 3rd class with her, which she crafted for our group as we love chaat. The menu was good, with a variety of different dishes, and a few different chutnys to go along. It was a fiest, and we learned a lot of good tips and tricks.
