You will be taught everything you need to know about spices (masalas), which is the basis of Indian cooking that will come handy when we begin to cook. Spices bring out the flavor in each dish; therefore, I always like my students to learn and become spice experts. I will teach you the nuances and secrets, where to get the masalas, and how to keep the aroma intact.
After the class I will send you the electronic version of the recipes to your email, so that It will be with you forever. This class is going to be very hands-on, but I will be with you all the time and giving you instructions. We cook from scratch using the best, healthy ingredients, spices and produce. We mingle, share our cooking experiences, eat together at the end of the class, and have lots of fun.
After we will make all the dishes, we will have a sit-down dinner. You will get friendship, fun and exquisite food a complete dinner like a king.
Come join us! Let us know your special needs, if any.
Summary:
In a lot of regents in India, many people are vegetarians, and the following dishes are popular vegetarian dishes they make. Samosa is a ball of mixed vegetables and spices wrapped with a dough and then deep-fried. It is usually eaten with relishes like chutney and is a common snack found on the streets of India.
Next we will make Malai kofta which is a rich dish using paneer and potatoes with ghee and heavy cream. It has a spicy taste to it from the masala and is served as a side dish and usually eaten with vegetable pulao. Next is the Aloo gobi is a popular, dry dish made with aloo which is potatoes and gobi which is cauliflower. It is stir fried with many spices like panch phoron, asafetida and turmeric and salt. These turmeric gives the dishes a lovely yellow color. Last we have vegetable pulao, a rice dish; often rice dishes are salty or savory. However this pulao recipe is a little different. It is made with vegetables, raisins, and mixture of spices like cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom. The raisins and the cinnamon, cloves, spice mix gives the rice dish a hint of sweetness.
