Our virtual Samosa & Cilantro Chutney Master Class is a 60-75 minute, live, hands-on cooking session built for remote and hybrid teams, hosted over Zoom, Google Meet, or Webex for private groups of up to 900 participants.
This vegan-friendly, beginner-level class is one of our most-booked virtual team building activities, trusted by teams at Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Tesla for offsites, culture days, and remote team bonding. Guests cook alongside JD, known to guests as the Smiling Buddha of India, learning to shape samosas and blend a fresh cilantro chutney from scratch, while hearing the real stories behind the spices. Recognized by BuzzFeed and Tasty, and rated 100% 5-star by 14,000+ guests hosted since 2015, this is a genuinely interactive, no-shipping-required activity that works for distributed teams across time zones.
Who This Class Is Best For
- HR and People teams planning a remote or hybrid offsite
- Distributed teams celebrating a milestone or culture day
- Teams with vegetarian, vegan, or dietary-diverse members
