A hands-on cooking class culminating in dinner served with wine.

Join Roop Soni, Stacie Dong, and Simran Singh and learn how to cook a few classic dishes from Roop's kitchen. This class is centered around a thali, one of the most inexpensive and delicious ways to try Indian food. The thali consists of a round plate with multiple small bowls full of a variety of curries and side dishes. The bowls line the edges of the large metal plate and in the center in often a mountain of rice or some Indian bread (or both!). It's the best way to try multiple dishes in one meal, as well as a good pick for greedy eaters like Simran's daughter. This hearty and mouth-watering menu will introduce you to a few of the main spices used in Indian cooking as well as a variety of techniques used in Indian home cooking (and a rare opportunity to learn from a real Indian mama!). After this class, invite your friends over for an Indian thali party with these recipes, which are perfect for sharing. No need order Indian take-out again!

Pudina Paneer / Minty Paneer Curry

Baingan Bartha / Roasted Spicy Eggplant

Due to time constraints of class, we won't make dessert but will provide a recipe for dessert so you can complete your Punjabi thali at home.

The instructors recommend watching "A Cook Abroad - Tony Singh's India" if you want to learn more about Punjabi food before or after you attend this class.
