Join us as we continue our exploration of Indian cooking.
In this class, we will focus on the essential ingredients and demonstrate basic methods used to prepare authentic dishes specific to the regional northern, southern and eastern states of India.
Ingredients such as whole mustard seeds, fresh curry leaves, asafoetida, cambodge, fenugreek, etc., will be introduced into your cooking vocabulary. The demonstration will include poultry, seafood and a vegetable dish, all prepared from scratch.
Afterwards, we will dine and continue with an informal discussion on ‘all things Indian cuisine.’
No previous Indian cooking experience required.
