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.

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.
