Private Indian-Mexican Fusion Cooking Class in a Chicago Home

The journey, in full

Cooking Class: Join your host Ruby Vas at her charming family home in Chicago to learn to cook a modern Indian fusion meal or traditional Indian meal from recipes that she has created herself and learned from her mother. Your hands-on Chicago cooking class will last about 2 hours during which you will learn to cook three dishes from scratch. Some of the Mexican-Indian fusion dishes you might learn to cook are paneer "quesadillas" with tandoori onions and "crack" crema (a jalapeno, cumin, and spiced sour cream sauce), Indian-spiced corn eloté (roasted corn on the cob with an Indian rub), curried cauliflower with chimichurri or basmati rice-stuffed poblanos, and mango lassi. Your meal will conclude with a dessert such as mango panna cotta. If you prefer a traditional Indian cooking class, please state your preference when making your booking. Your traditional Indian meal might include dishes such as shrimp or chicken biryani and raita, whole roasted tandoori style chicken or chicken curry and aloo gobhi, a spiced potato and cauliflower dish. Your traditional Indian meal will conclude with a dessert such as mango kulfi, traditional Indian ice-cream. Enjoy learning about the tips and techniques involved in Indian fusion (or traditional Indian) cooking before you sit down at the table to share the meal you helped prepare with your host Ruby.
