In this 3 hour cookery class we welcome back Indian chef and food writer Monisha Bharadwaj to lead you through a hands-on cookery session to learn the secrets of simple Indian cooking.
Join Monisha for this class and learn how to build a curry from scratch, use spices for flavour and wellness and how to cook rice perfectly to complement your Indian meal. This class will show you how to cook with just a few seasonal ingredients to create a fabulous Indian feast.
The class will end by sitting down to lunch together to enjoy everything that has been prepared, with any leftovers boxed up for you to take home!
Sample Menu:
- Turmeric Pulao (rice with spices)
- Paneer Palak Masala (spinach curry)
- Gucchi ka Korma (mushroom curry with cashew nut)

This class is a mixture of hands on and demo by Monisha.
Open to all levels of skills and interests. This class is suitable for Adults 18 and over.
