For those of you who have attended Simran and Stacie's classes in the past, you have met Simran's mom, Roop, and perhaps learned how to roll a perfect parantha or fry a puffy poori under her watchful eye. Join us for some Kashmiri classics from the state in Northern India where Auntie Roop grew up. Enjoy some dishes that you rarely find in restaurants in the US!
 
Kashmir has a rich culture and history that greatly influence its cuisine. Kashmiri food is richly flavored with spices like cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and saffron. The staple of the diet in Kashmir is rice. In addition to rice being of great importance in Kashmiri meals, other important items include mutton, chicken and fish. Aside from these non-vegetarian items, vegetables are also very important in Kashmiri cuisine. They are used along with meat to prepare some of the best combinations in Kashmiri cuisine.
 
In this meal, we've selected a few vegetarian dishes for a meal you won't forget!
