Traveling Spoon

A Traditional Mughlai and North Indian Meal

---

Mamta is a professional singer with a master’s degree in music - she has won several awards in India and abroad. She loves poetry and is very creative, visible in the way she has decorated her home. She has also recently started a multi-cuisine restaurant in Agra. Mamta’s husband is a colonel in the army and after years of being an army officer’s wife, entertaining comes naturally to her. She learned cooking after getting married and her food-loving husband and son keep her motivated in the kitchen. Her husband travels often but if he is home during your visit he will show you how to tie a turban and make a paratha.

What to expect:

Meal:

Mamta and her son Shaurya will welcome you into their tastefully decorated, artistic home. Her well-stocked pantry is a true reflection of her love for food and cooking and she will give you a brief tour so you can have a better understanding of the spices used in Indian cooking. Your meal will be served at the dining table and might include dishes such as white mutton stew, shammi kebab (mincemeat cutlets), chicken kofta (meatball curry), mutter paneer (peas and fresh cheese), sukhi arbi (dry colocasia leaves) and gajar ka halwa (carrot pudding).

Choose a starting time, either: Not offered or 4:00pm.

Note:

Mamta's apartment is on the first floor (up a flight of stairs) and the building has no elevator.
