This is a seasonal Indian hands–on–demo cooking class making a variety of easy appetizers for your next get-together. You’ll learn to make Tandoori pepper chicken sliders with a hint of spicy heat.

Then, you’ll learn to make chana masala, a protein-packed curry made of chickpeas (garbanzo beans), onions, tomatoes, and toasted spices served with a special kind of bread called Bhaturas.

Lastly, vegetable pakoras, which are chickpea batter-dipped fritters stuffed with seasonal vegetables and warm Indian spices. At the end of class, you’ll enjoy these appetizers with cilantro sauce for dipping and a glass of wine. This class is ideal for anyone wanting to add craveable authentic Indian flavors to their holiday snack table or for those who want to learn how to cook Indian food at home but don’t know where to start.

Instructor: Veena Bansal I never ever thought that I would be teaching cooking classes. When I first told my mom she couldn’t stop laughing. By profession I am a fine art artist and over twenty years cooking has become my passion. It gives me the same kind of calmness as when I paint. Very therapeutic! Grinding fresh spices, bringing out different flavors, everything just changed for me. I enjoy entertaining and cooking for my friends and I always offer my help if anyone needs it. This is how my cooking journey started. I’ve taught cooking classes at Franklin Park Conservatory prior to the pandemic and I’m excited to continue teaching others.
