Your hands-on vegetarian Indian cooking class in New York will last about 2 hours, during which you will learn to cook three dishes from scratch. Some of the dishes you might learn to cook are dal (spiced lentil soup), paneer makhani (Indian cheese in a creamy sauce), south Indian vegetables, served with sorghum (millet) and amaranth rotis or basmati pilaf with summer spices and herbs. Enjoy learning about the tips and techniques involved in Indian cooking, and the medicinal benefits of spices before you sit down at the table to share the meal you helped prepare with host Kavitha. Kavitha is excited to share her culture through food in this New York cooking class.
Notes: Kavitha is happy to accommodate vegan and gluten-free requests. If you would like to learn to make masala dosa and chutney or pav bhaji, please let Kavitha know in advance, while booking your New York cooking class online.
