"Absolutely loved the experience. Parul Mam is a great cook and an amazing teacher. In the course of 3 hours, we learnt about 5 to 6 dishes. She keeps everything ready and also provides us with a hardcopy of the recipes, so while we can go back home and cook for our folks. Will totally recommend her. "

"We are so glad we found out about Patil’s cooking class. Me and my friend were in Bangalore for some time and wanted to spend sometime cooking together under a professional cook. Parul custom created the class as per our needs, knowledge, and taste. We felt completely at home with her and her husband. She walked us through all the essential steps of the recipe and gave a lot of great tips. The dal makhani we made together is one of the best I have ever had! Given this was my first hand at cooking, I am so glad to have had the foundation laid by her. I return being more excited about cooking North Indian recipes now. "

Parul makes sure we understand each process and introduces spices used for each dish clearly. The whole experience is beyond my expectation which I appreciate with all my heart. In addition, Parul’s husband Mr. Thacker and miss Rashmi, who also joined the cooking section, are joyful companies. This is not just a cooking class but a tour to authentic Indian cultural experience, and I enjoyed every moment of it! "

"I joined this cooking classes in order to learn the very basics of North Indian cooking. I really liked the flexibility I have with Paul Aunty's sessions. I customised with my lifestyle (3 Saturdays for 5 dishes). She is very organised, proactive and even with the follow up after the session. She held me accountable to practice after the session, that helps me with continuity. It will take only 15 minutes to understand this cooking sessions are worth the investment. Without even asking she will explain you all aspects of cooking. In a nutshell I wanted to achieve self confidence in cooking that I eventually did. So I have achieved my purpose with this class and I am happy about it. I am grateful to Parul Aunty for that. Apart from cooking what I felt is that she is very generous person and I believe that's her charm. Thank you Aunty. "

Well, let's just say we weren't wrong since Parul Aunty's classes were very well organized and her recipes were the real deal. She keeps her kitchen very clean and explains each step of the process in a simple way along with why we do certain things. I also learnt many useful tips and tricks for beginners like me. She is a great teacher and also an interesting person to talk to. You can tell by how meticulous she is that she really loves cooking and that it is her passion.

"I had a 3 hours cooking class with Parul where she taught us 5 recipes. Before the class she sent us a list of all the recipes she could teach us, we chose 5 of them and informed her. Parul is very well organised, she had prepared everything on time and gave us the printed recipe at the beginning of the class so that we can follow easily. The dishes were very tasty and she really masters all the recipes she teaches. This is how one can recognize a great teacher, she not only knows the recipe but knows how to teach. Parul knows a lot about Indian Cooking and takes time to explain you whatever you ask for. Furthermore her house is very beautiful and very clean. Her husband is also very welcoming and has many interesting stories to tell. You will definitely feel like home at their place. I highly recommend Parul's classes.

I chose to learn 5 dishes and Parul was kind enough to infact include a sixth dish as well. Parul had taken out copies of all the recipes we were to try that day so became easier. She patiently showed me all the dishes and gave me some very handy cooking tips as well. I was amazed with how calmly she was switching between dishes and masalas. Anyways, it was a great learning experience and I hope to go back for one more session and learn new dishes whenever I can. "

"I highly recommend Parul's cooking classes. Parul is a culinary treasure, and she is truly a knowledgeable, beautiful and generous person. I owned a food truck, catering and cooking class business in the United States, and I have taken cooking classes all over the world, and Parul is the best of the best. I did two sessions with her - Northern Indian and Southern Indian - and not only did I learn so much, but I had so much fun. Parul is very well organized and the recipes and notes she gives are great. She lets you chose which dishes you want to learn, and she shares all kinds of knowledge on the ingredients and recipes, including variations you can make to recreate the dishes at home. Her knowledge is extensive and she answers all of your questions, making sure you understand everything. When we made naan she let me practice until they came out perfect. She even made me tea and and showed me how to make her own Masala Tea recipe. It is clear that she is passionate about Indian cuisine and wants to share that passion with others. Her energy and enthusiasm are infectious. After the course we sat down and shared a meal together with all the dishes that we made. Everything was so delicious. It's a shame that most of the cooking classes in Bangalore are baking, Italian and Chinese. I took one other Indian cooking class in Bangalore and it was terrible - disorganized and so bad that I left early. With Parul you are guaranteed to learn, have fun and eat very well. Thank you Parul. "

"She is a culinary treasure and a truly beautiful and generous person. I did two sessions with her - Northern Indian and Southern Indian, and I learned so much. Apart from learning, I had so much fun. I previously owned a food truck, catering and cooking class business in the United Stated, and have taken cooking classes all over the world. Parul is the best I have experienced. Her knowledge of Indian cooking and cuisine is deep and extensive, and she takes the time to make sure you learn the recipes, answers all of your questions, and shares so much additional information about the ingredients and recipes. She lets you chose exactly the recipes you want to learn, and even adds all kinds of extra information beyond the recipe itself, including changes and variations you can do to recreate the dishes with different flavors, ingredients, and dietary needs. She made me tea and shared her special masala tea recipe. Any question I asked, even if it was not part of the course, she answered. It was clear that Parul cooks and teaches because she is truly passionate about Indian cuisine and wants to share her passion. Her energy and enthusiasm are infectious. It's a shame that most of the cooking classes in Bangalore teach baking, Italian, and Chinese. "

"I am a complete beginner in cooking. Parul mam was very patient with me and explained and demonstrated all the dishes clearly, and paused to ensure that I understood everything. Enjoyed cooking with her and realized cooking can be so very fun. Prepared at home after the session, my parents loved it. "

"On weekends, I took the cooking class. It was first time so I was very nervous and rotating all the thoughts in my mind, how it will go and what it will be like, but when the moment I entered in the house, it was welcoming and friendly. Aunty has also prepared everything in the kitchens as per the dishes, I opted and kitchen was super clean. She already has planned everything in advance how to go ahead. We started with one dishes, then another and moved on. Apart of cooking she will give you tips, share her experience and tell her other complementary dishes, and make you taste of the food so that you can feel the difference, which is like great. Her way of cooking is very simple and homemade. The way she cooks is like homemade, no addition of soda or cornflour. I just love the way she cooks and looking forward to attend more classes. "

"I loved the class, all the necessary things were kept ready. The importance to the detaining was very good. I learnt new techniques and tips for cooking, which are very useful. I never thought in less than 2 hours one can cook 4 kinds of Chinese cuisines. "

"Parul was a great teacher and an amazing host. She made all of us feel like home from the moment we stepped in her home. We were a group of 4 students from Germany who were interested in the Indian Cuisine. We could choose 4 different dishes from her catalog and we were even allowed to mix the different cuisines (we had picked some north Indian, and Indian-Chinese dishes). Parul was well prepared, e.g. she had printed out the recipes in advanced and prepared some dough that would have taken too long otherwise. As an extra treat she had prepared an additional dish which she wanted us to taste and after that we even got some homemade dessert. All 4 of us learned a lot and we really enjoyed the cooking class and eating the homemade food afterwards!! We can only recommend Parul. If we have time we will definitely try to take another class with her. Thank you for the great evening Parul and all the best! "
