In an Indian home, one pot meals are ever inviting, always tasty, never lose their appeal for modern women with less time to spend in the kitchen. One-bowl meals, simple by design and typically vegetarian, consist of small portions of foods that include rice, protein in the form of a bean or lentil curry, and a vegetable. In an affluent kitchen, however, the bowls get more fashionable and elaborate. In this class, we will make both a simple meal of yellow dal, steamed rice and sautéed cauliflower, and a more elaborate bowl consisting of a popular dish called Ragda-Patties–a simple stew of whole yellow peas, just lightly spiced, served with potato patties, sweet onions, cilantro, sweet and sour date chutney and a pungent spice mixture called chaat masala. It’s a meal you don’t want to miss. Let’s get bowled over! Note: A $20 ingredients fee is payable to the instructor in class.Limited to 12.
