Want to learn a little about the ingredients used in Indian cooking?
This short class will introduce you to some basic ingredients used in Indian cooking and what they are used for. You will also be able to touch, feel and smell the ingredients. All participants will be able to take some pre-measured and bagged ingredients with recipe to take home and make their own Indian meals!

I will introduce to you:
A wide variety of lentils and dried beans/peas/pulses
A few kinds of rices
Different masalas (spice mixes) used in preparing dishes
Spice mixes used to eat with prepared dishes
Help differentiate spicy (flavorful) and hot (like chili peppers) in Indian cooking
Indian cooking gadgets, but you can use American ones to make simple recipes.
Seats are limited to 12.
There is a nominal fee of $10 per person to cover cost of materials.

** This class will teach you ingredients used for basis of Indian vegetarian cooking, though many ingredients are also used for cooking meat-based and egg-based dishes. Though all masalas I use are vegetarian, some are intended for meat dishes, but I use in vegetarian dishes!
**This room has no kitchen facility. We will not be making/cooking food in this class.
