Do I need any prior cooking experience?

None at all. Classes are designed for all skill levels, from absolute beginners to confident home cooks. Chef Bal adapts the session entirely to where you are starting from.

What ingredients and equipment do I need?

Chef Bal brings all ingredients and any specialist equipment needed. Your standard home kitchen setup is sufficient — a cooktop, oven, and basic pots and pans.

Can the class theme be customized?

Absolutely. Class themes are fully flexible — whether you want to focus on a specific dish, a regional Indian cuisine, a festive menu, or a particular technique, Chef Bal will design the class around your interests.

Will there be food left over to eat?

Yes — every class ends with a full sit-down meal of everything you cooked together. That is part of the experience.
