Winter calls for warmth and comfort. During these chilly, rainy, and short days, a warm bowl of curry made with hearty ingredients and nourishing spices will feed both body and spirit. We believe you can have this, even during a busy time of work and school. In this class, we will learn how to make some classic Indian curries that can be warmed up over the course of the week to make our daily meals delicious and cozy. We'll pair them with some simple sides, so a complete meal is in reach any day of the week!
