Food of India spans from very simple to very stylized, rich and exotic, pleasing the palate of the poor and the elite simultaneously. The British were so enamored by the richness and variety of Indian Cuisine that they have claimed some of the dishes as part of their national cuisine. Let’s recreate some of the time tested, exotic recipes. We will learn to make Vegetable Tikka Masala (Paneer tikkas or cubes in a rich, spiced gravy with nuts, carrots and green pepper), Shreekhand (a dessert made with thickened yogurt, saffron, cardamom and almond-pistachio medley), and finally Green pulao (basmati rice cooked with cauliflower, potatoes, and peas with a cilantro chutney base), Come, explore this exotic cuisine with Shruti Mehta. A $20 ingredients fee is payable to the instructor in class.
Shruti Mehta has been teaching Indian cooking to Indian food aficionados for over 30 years. With Shruti, Indian food enthusiasts learn the inherent recipes of the foods of Northern, Southern and Western India’s distinguished cuisine. Her classes include field trips to the best local Indian Restaurants and Indian grocery stores, exploring the wealth of Indian Masalas (spices and spice blends) and other unique ingredients that make Indian food so rich and colorful. Shruti has demonstrated Indian cooking fundamentals and rituals at Peabody Essex Museum and other Indian venues. Her take-home simple recipes are always a hit with her students.
