Course overview
Join Michelin starred chef Atul Kochhar's cookery course and learn how to make some of the most iconic Indian curries, breads, rice and vegetable dishes.
This course will teach you to cook recipes from across India, including some of Atul's favourite dishes from Kerala, West Bengal, Kashmir and Goa.
Choose Expert option for personal feedback and advice from Atul on your cooking.
By the end of the course you will have prepared four classic Indian dishes, and will have an understanding of the history and culture of each region, and how this feeds into the ideas, ingredients and flavours behind the dishes you have created.
You'll be going behind the scenes of Kanishka, the Mayfair restaurant run by two Michelin starred chef Atul Kochhar which focuses on the unexplored cuisine from the so called 'Sister States' of India.
Atul is keen to highlight the regional differences in his home country’s food.
Indian cuisine doesn’t exist to be honest – we have very specific regional cuisines instead. Sometimes the tastes are like chalk and cheese; it would be like comparing Finnish cuisine with the food of southern Italy. Calling food Indian is just as vague as describing a dish as European.
People often shy away from Indian food, worrying that it’s too complicated and requires too many ingredients. Atul is here to debunk this myth:
“If you cook along with me and follow my basic steps, by the end of the course you will be cooking these dishes exactly like me.”
You'll learn:
- About the regional differences in Indian cuisine
- How to cook curries including Keralan fish curry, a West Bengal Macher Jhol fish curry, Rogan josh and chicken Xacutti and a black-eyed bean curry
- Rice and bread recipes to serve with your curry
- Vegetable side dishes

What is an online classroom?
Our online classroom has been developed to allow you to learn from our experts in a sociable environment alongside up to 20 other students.

This means not only do you benefit from people who are outstanding in their field, but also from a close-knit group of like-minded people whom you can learn alongside. Group learning has shown to greatly improve not just the experience of studying, but also how well you retain the knowledge, and we have built our classroom experience around this fact.
