#Learn to make vegan, gluten-free, dishes with Mukti!

##Duration 3 Hours

What you'll learn in this Indian cooking class:

##Class Format 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 organic 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 A must for all the vegetarians out there, enjoy a full course meal of 5 different vegetarian dishes! Our first dish on this menu is Okra Bhaji. Okras, you either hate them or love them but after learning my okra masala I know you will love them. Fresh, organic okras infused with a variety of spice blend, healthy yet full of flavors. Next up we have Baingan Bharta, which is smoked eggplants in onions and garden herbs. This dish doesn’t require as that many spices compared to other dishes because all the flavors come from the herbs. Chana masala with Coconut, a dish you must try for the benefit of your health. A yummy pea dish that is usually made from a variety of spices but at Mukti’s Kitchen, we like to add some coconut flavor to it for a refreshing taste.

Happiness is a bowl of Vegetable Pulao; a simple rice dish of mixed vegetables that is salty yet sweet at the same time. Lastly on the menu we have Onion Fritters, these crispy appetizers are a must to try, they are made with chickpea flour, so it's gluten free! All my dishes are very easy to make, so don’t feel overwhelmed. In the very beginning of my class, we will get to know each other and enjoy some refreshments. Then I will teach you everything you need to know about spices which is the basis of Indian cooking that will come handy when we begin to cook. My class is very hands-on, so every one of my students will have the opportunity to prepare and cook the dishes and at the end, when everything is finished, we will have dinner together and talk about your experience in my kitchen.
