I received this cooking class gift voucher from my friends and thought it would be worth trying a new kind of cuisine. I have always liked Indian cuisine and was interested in learning more about all those different spices. Indian cooking is not about eating something that mostly tastes good but it is more about using the right combination of spices to give you more energy.
Each Indian chef makes its own masala, which is a combination of spices and can include from 7 to 96 different spices. Our cooking class was focused on the cuisine coming from a Southern region of India : Kerala.
We started with a spicy pumpkin soup with chapati ( the traditional Indian bread), then ate a lamb byriani with vegetable tikkis and a carrot and garlic chutney. To finish, we prepared a coconut barfi. Everything was so tasty and delicious ! The chef was also very welcoming and taught us lots of tips about how to prepare garlic, onions, ginger and how to use different spices Very handy ! Best of all is that the spices you eat have an effect for the next 3 days, giving you full energy.
