Everyday Indian Cooking

If the idea of cooking Indian food from scratch at home intimidates you, then this class is for you. Learn how to make classic Indian dishes that pack bold flavor, and come together quickly enough to work for weeknight dinner. Together these recipes make a wonderful multi-dish Indian meal, but you can also enjoy them individually as a way to add new flavors to your everyday cooking repertoire. This class will also include an overview of spices and the Indian pantry.
