Are you the one who loves Indian food but is afraid to try it at home? Do the foreign spices and not so familiar list of beans and legumes intimidate you? If so, skip the takeout, put your apron on, and get ready to tackle some EASY Indian recipes. This class will incorporate traditional techniques and ingredients to teach some quick and easy dishes without sacrificing the taste. We will learn to make Potato and Tomato curry, a simple everyday curry, enticing rich and poor tables equally, Masoor Dal, (red lentils cooked with onion, ginger, garlic, and spices), and Spinach rice (Basmati rice cooked with spinach and tomatoes, peanuts, ghee, garam masala, brown sugar, and spices). We will end with a simple, easy to put together dessert of mango pulp and ice-cream with cardamom and shaved pistachios. This is homemade comfort food that will leave you craving for more. Note: A $20 ingredients fee is payable to the instructor in class.
