Authentic Indian Curry

Description

In this complete hands-on class, you’ll learn the art of refining the perfect Indian curry base to make a beautiful Punjabi Pakora Curry with Rice.

The first step to building the curry is a brief knife skills lesson on chopping vegetables. Our expert Chef Instructor will teach you the basics of sourcing and balancing Indian herbs and spices. You will even get to taste test and familiarize yourself with some new and aromatic flavors.

For this particular curry, you will make kadi and pakora from scratch. Kadi is a simmered yogurt sauce that is slow cooked, while pakora are fried fritters. Chef Raina will share her secret to making the perfect rice, before showing you how to build the curry dish from all of its component parts. Then you will sit down to enjoy your meal, which will taste so much better knowing that you created it from scratch, using the most authentic ingredients and techniques. Chef Raina has also taken it upon herself to send guests home with a giveaway of a box of fancy teas to enjoy at home.

No experience is required! All equipment and ingredients will be provided. Our events are casual and meant to be fun, relaxing and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting.

Please note that class will be hosted in Chef Raina's home with ample space in the kitchen to social distance booking parties from one another. Chef Raina is also maintaining a sanitized space, for your safety, as per CDC guidelines. Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in and get comfortable, wearing your mask. Guests are welcome to BYOB.

Your chef instructor will wear a mask throughout the entire class as well. Guests will be allowed to remove their masks when eating and drinking. As a result, booking parties will be socially distanced from one another while eating.

Chef Raina's apartment is conveniently located a few blocks away from the 7 Train (Flushing, Main St). Please note that the building has no elevator and is not wheelchair accessible. Chef Raina also has a dog at home, however the dog will be kept in a separate room throughout the entire class. There is free street parking opposite from her building and a few blocks away. There are also plenty of paid parking lots nearby - such as Tangram & Sky View Mall. Upon arrival please look for a brick building with an archway - on the entrance you'll see a sign "37-33" (image included in class description).

Truly wonderful experience. Both Raina and Gautam were extremely knowledgeable and the recipes they propose are flavorful and original, the kind that you then want to repeat at home and show your friends. The class flew by (we ended up staying 3 hours), and besides the cooking the social experience of sharing the meal with them and the other participants was one of the highlights. Would recommend this to anyone who enjoys great food, great company and the drive to try something new.
