Indian Cookery

This course is suitable for complete beginners; it will look at the basics of Indian Cooking, and the various spices used in it. We also discuss Indian cooking from different parts of the Indian sub continent. All this will be accompanied by the practical experience of preparing and cooking some scrumptious Indian dishes, which will introduce you to Indian home cooking. Believe me! The quality and taste is very different from what you get in restaurants and takeaways.

The course aims to provide the learner with the practical knowledge and skill to prepare and cook Indian food dishes.

On completion, the learner should have a greater knowledge of the spices used in Indian cookery and the knowledge, skills and confidence to prepare and cook Indian food dishes.

Please Note - Learners will need to bring two small containers, (to take home what you have cooked) an apron and a cap or scarf to cover your hair.
