World Cuisine Series: Tour of India – Vegetarian, Dal, Rice & Beans
Event on 2012-06-07 18:30:00
If you've ever traveled to India or been to an Indian restaurant, you already know that beans are an essential part of the cuisine and that meals are often served with rice to soak up the flavors of each preparation. We'll learn from an expert, Surbhi Sahni, a native of New Dehli who expertly fuses Eastern and Western cooking styles. She'll show us a cooking knowledge she's been cultivating since she was seven years old preparing three meals a day for her family and extending to her current role as owner of Bittersweet 269, specializing in custom-designed wedding cakes and Indian-inspired confections. We'll learn from her the basics of dal, a standard Indian dish, made of pureed lentils, peas or beans, creating a thick, satisfying soup that's an important part of any Indian cuisine. The class will also explore Saag Paneer, another traditional dish of a mix of spinach, cheese and powerful herbs, served warm – Indian comfort food! And to balance out the meal we'll be frying up some vegetable pakoras – the Indian version of fritters – made with vegetables and spices for a hot and satisfying snack. Vegetarian meals are never boring in India, and here in Brooklyn we'll learn how to make them exciting too!
