Read the ingredient list before class
Measure spices and prep vegetables in advance (mise en place) so you can follow along without delay.
Stabilize your camera
Position your laptop or phone with a clear overhead or angled view of your stove so the instructor can see and guide your technique.
Mind the heat on your pan
Indian cooking often uses high heat; preheat pans and adjust flame to avoid burning spices or milk-based desserts.
Have substitutions ready
If you lack a specific spice, have ground alternatives (e.g., garam masala instead of whole spices) and ask the host for quick swaps.
Laptop or smartphone with webcam
Required to join the live session and show your workspace for feedback.
Large frying pan or griddle (tawa)
A wide, flat surface helps cook Pav Bhaji evenly and allows you to mash vegetables directly in the pan.
Sturdy potato masher
Needed to achieve Pav Bhaji’s signature texture without over-processing.
Measuring spoons and cups
Accurate spice measurements help replicate balance and flavor taught in the class.
