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
