Indian Food
One of my favorite cuisines!  We will learn how to make a basic chicken curry, a basic side dish with paneer, and we will even make our own naan (an Indian  flatbread.  The spices you learn to cook with in this class will help you to create your own Indian style dinners whenever you want.

We have done many variations of this class, and they have always been fun.  This time, we will make moussaka, (a Greek casserole with eggplant, beef and topped with a béchamel), souvlaki (chicken & pork) and one of my favorite dishes, youvarelakia,  meatballs cooked in broth with an egg-lemon sauce.
