What You'll Experience

This is not a demonstration — this is a seat at our family table, with a plate full of samosas you made yourself.

Welcome to our home in Jaipur! We are Balram & Ritu, and we’ll welcome you with a big smile and a refreshing welcome drink. Over chai, we’ll share stories of how samosa came to India, why every family has its own fold, and the secrets of our dadiji's masala.

Then we roll up our sleeves. This is 100% hands-on. You will learn to make the perfect samosa dough from scratch — kneading to that perfect firm-yet-soft texture, resting, and rolling into perfect circles.

Then comes the fun part — 3 authentic fillings. We will roast and grind our own masala, cook the fillings together, and teach you the 4-step folding technique that seals the samosa without it bursting in oil.

No experience needed. We guide you at every step, laugh a lot, and make sure you fry golden, crispy samosas.

After cooking, we all sit together and eat the feast you created with our special tamarind & mint chutneys and masala chai. It’s more than a cooking class — it’s a cultural exchange.

You’ll leave with a full belly, new friends, and our Lifetime Samosa Recipe Pack so you can fry Jaipur at home.
