Community Class: Northern Indian Cuisine

Please note that this class is currently fully booked and is no longer accepting registrations of interest. You can still book or join the waiting list for other classes through our calendar and booking form. Thank you!

————————————————————————

Join plant based chef Nishma Shah to learn how to cook some utterly delicious meals using spices to make a rich vegan mughlai meal of North India.  

You’ll learn how to:    

• Temper spices
• Make a rich creamy curry using basic spices found in most Indian spice tins
• Make a pleated roti/chapati
• Make a balanced earthy salad to compliment the meal

This class will be a mixture of practical cooking, demos and time to ask questions. We are now returning to ‘family style’ cooking with everyone cooking in groups. This creates more of a communal and interactive experience, working together as a team. All ingredients and equipment needed for the class are provided.
