Over the course you will develop your culinary skills, wowing your family and friends with the delights of a real-life Indian home kitchen. Classic Indian flavours are all about spice blends and this is where you’ll start. You’ll be introduced to a range of everyday spices, you’ll learn what and how to buy basic ingredients, and what to keep in your pantry. You’ll learn how to cook multiple dishes – from savoury classic snacks like samosas and pakoras, to specialist breads, to main dishes like lentils, beans and vegetable curries.

This fun, easy course needs your commitment to learn. You’ll have endless tips and hacks for replicating these traditional dishes for yourself at home. Your teacher has 60 years of home-cooking experience behind her, and more than 20 years of teaching in Oxfordshire. Her dedication to spreading Indian vegetarian food led her to start up her own food brand with her family of ‘Holy Cow’ curry sauces. • Please bring the following with you each week: • knife• container• tea towel • oven gloves• kitchen towel• Wok with a lid (the lid will only be needed for some dishes)• teaspoons• small container to take left over cooking oil home• tin opener.
