Indian Cooking Made Simple - Class I


<h4>In Indian Cookery Class – I, you will be given an engaging demonstration of preparing the following dishes:</h4>


1. Onion Bhajis

2. Baingan Bharta or Gujarati Olo

3. Tadka Dal

4. Chapati Or Fulka Roti

5. Kaju Pulav Rice



DISHES

Onion Bhajis need no introduction! These onion fritters made with gram flour and simple herbs & spices are loved by one and all. While the restaurant menu ties this to the appetiser section, this is fact, such a versatile snack. You could have it for your group meals, or evening snacks and the Indian me would say, the perfect setup for these is a rainy day and some warming masala chai. Enjoy the sight of rain and your favourite melodies, with the comforting warmth of these bhajis and sips of masala chai. Bliss!!

Baigan Bharta, also called Olo in Gujarat state of India, is a very popular dish made from roasted aubergine. The pulp of roasted is mashed and then seasoned with simple spices, and fresh herbs and slow-cooked further for a bit. The simplicity of this dish is very captivating, as it accentuates the smoky flavours of the aubergine, without the other spices masking its presence.

Tadka Dal may be seen as an Indian lentil stew made using boiled lentils and then tempered in spices and herbs. Dal is best enjoyed with rice or any of the Indian breads or who cares, enjoy a warm bowl of dal on its own for a comforting warmth. The Indian way would be to add a bit of ghee (Clarified butter) to the dal for enhanced aroma and taste.

Chapati or Fulka Roti is a simple Indian flatbread. Made using whole wheat flour and cooked on the griddle, the rotis are an everyday feature of the Indian household. A perfect partner for your curries and dal but not limited to them. Make a jam/Nutella roll or dip just the rolled chapati in milk or use it as a base for a salad wrap and so much more!

Kaju (Cashew nuts) Pulav Rice is a flavourful rice variant that would go best with your dal or curry. Best prepared with aromatic basmati rice, cashew nuts, and a blend of spices. You may choose to add other dry fruits or keep them out of the recipe as well if you wish. Feel free to ask about ‘raita’ a yoghurt-based curry cooler that I feel is a match made in heaven with any Pulav rice.
