A cooking class with Lubna

To get back to Lubna's, the three of us squeezed into the back of an auto. Once there, we set to work cooking several dishes for dinner. We prepared a very different type of chicken biryani which we smoked with burning charcoal, saag paneer, dal, mashed aubergine, bhuna raita, and flatbreads. During the cooking process, we were instructed by Lubna, and assisted by the two houseboys. Fiona got told off for not cutting the onions correctly 😂. Family members kept coming and going. It was all very social and enjoyable.

Later, we were joined by Lubna's husband as we sat down to enjoy the fruits of our labours. It was all delicious.

After dinner, we took an auto back to our hotel, passing India Gate, which looked beautiful illuminated in the colours of the Indian flag. We vowed to come back to photograph it at night when we return to Delhi after our tour.

When we got back to Karol Bagh, we went for a walk through the chaotic market and enjoyed a pistachio lassi before returning to the hotel.Leggi altro
