A fun, authentic cooking experience in India

Published on Sep, 2024

We attended an Indian cooking class at the Sita Cultural Centre in Pondicherry, and it was a fantastic experience. Our group of four had a private session where we began by planning the menu: chicken biryani, dal fry, and carrot halwa. Our wonderful guide, Manisha, then took us to the local market, where she introduced us to the vendors, selected the vegetables, and explained the various lentils and spices as we gathered our ingredients. After returning to the cultural centre by auto (tuk tuk), we began preparing the vegetables and cooking. It wasn't a formal training session, but rather an incredible, hands-on introduction to Indian cuisine and flavors. Manisha walked us through the spices and showed us how to recreate the dishes at home. The three hours flew by, and the meal was absolutely delicious. We highly recommend this class for anyone looking for a fun, authentic cooking experience in India!

How to cook restaurant quality Indian food.

Published on Sep, 2024

We have done cooking classes before and they have all been good and the chef at each has been personable and taken time to talk about the dishes we are preparing. Manisha was very easy to talk to and a talented chef and, under her expert tutelage we cooked a very tasty meal. In the past we had always been sent recipes and this time was no exception. What was exceptional was the background information contained and the clear detailed recipes. For anyone interested in cooking Indian dishes this is a must do.

Delicious fish curry

Published on Aug, 2024

We had a great morning with Manisha on the Indian Cookery course. Trip to the market to start with and then cooking and eating. I recommend doing the fish curry. It was delicious. Interesting, right pace, lovely food and Manisha was a great host.
