Culinary workshops

All Indian cooking is NOT difficult! At least, a lot of it.

That is the first thing we want to mention and of course, mostly we agree they are wonderful on our palates! Now, the term Indian Cooking is too

generic! The food we cook and consume in India or rather the subcontinent is so diverse and different that we do not know where to start. The different

daals, cooking oils, seasoning spices, etc are varied by a wide margin. Yet, together, they all constitute Indian cooking.

For the beginner, we will still recommend that you head to your favourite restaurant for the kebab and naan unless you want to keep a tandoor oven at

home or make compromises like a typical show on YouTube - " Tandoori Chicken without tandoor".

We specialise in Bengali Cuisine workshops but also do a reasonably good job of Daals, Rajmas, Palak paneers, Idlis and Tikka Masala which are from neighboring places in our country. We invite you to a Bengali Home (which also gives you a real and non touristy insight into how we live). Here the

family members greet you with a cup of Darjeeling Tea or Nimbu Pani mocktail. You are introduced first hand into the spices and condiments that

go into making some of the dishes that will be cooked and eaten. You see the vegetables and other raw materials, get a demonstration of the cutting / marination techiniques. Hygiene and cleanliness is paramount. Then we show

you how to cook some of the food, first hand, in the kitchen. We welcome you to try your hand on the wok too. As the heady Indian spices engulf you,

you grow in confidence and when you actually eat what you helped cook, you will understand that it is but a process to be followed with adequate planning, sourcing and patience, seasoned with passion and love. We will share the cooking processes of the dishes savoured, in writing, so you can show how much of a wonderchef you are when you go back home.

This workshop happens usually in the evenings (lunch workshops are possible too) and is a private workshop folllowed by a four/ five course Bengali

Dinner. Join us for one.
