Nothing is better than spending a Sunday morning cooking and eating. This class offers a variety of Indian breakfast dishes that will keep you full throughout the day. Aloo poha is a common Indian breakfast dish, it is beaten rice mixed with cauliflowers, onions, and potatoes. It is very common in India that it is available in all local eatery and in canteens; it can be eaten as a breakfast meal or as an evening snack. Upma semolina is also a rice dish but it is a thick porridge that has a sweet taste to it. It is usually made with cashew, raisin, and onions. Adding the raisins to this dish adds a little excitement due to the sweetness of the raisins. In a lot of Asian countries, it is very common to eat rice or rice based dishes as a breakfast meal. Rice carries a lot of nutrient values thus both dishes are very healthy and filling. Poori turns hard when it gets cold, however the potato curry keeps it soft and delicious. Lastly we have chutney which is a relish that can be served with the kochouri for a extra kick of flavors.
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.
