​​You will learn the art of curry making as I learned from my mum and grandmother. Suitable for all levels as we will be sharing the secrets of Nawabi and Moghul cooking, the easy way.
​
Classes in 2025 are focusing on the basic blending techniques to make four different styles of delicious quick and easy dishes. You will be able to customise the techniques I teach to a wide variety of curries and ingredients.
Learning the 'art' is simply not the same as merely following a recipe. I will help you to develop your intuition!
​
You will learn how to cook:
​
Hyderabadi Chicken or Parsnip curry
Aloo Palak (potatoes and spinach)
Baghari Daal
Karachi Courgette
Peas Pilau Rice with Cumin
​
Although I use slow cooking techniques for many of my curries, there are some wonderful curries that can be made quickly and simply. My mum showed me that quicker methods don’t have to compromise on taste and depth. She used her 'zaika' (taste) and I will pass that art on to you – the exact timing, the spice blending and the stages involved in making a fabulous tasting curry!
​
​
Later I will be introducing traditional slow cook classes with biriyanis, dopiaza and other advanced dishes. These are
traditional, layering methods which very few people practise nowadays. Restaurant cooking is the complete opposite of
classical Indian cooking by the way!
Watch this space!

“I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you so much for your insightful knowledge and wonderful day on Saturday. I had the dishes last night with my children and can honestly say they were the most amazing Indian dishes I have ever tasted and trust me when I say I have eaten in some of the best restaurants in London. The day was such a great experience and it was a real pleasure to spend it with you. Many thanks again for your time and education it was a fantastic experience.”
