Papadum...those crunchy disks served with a variety of chutneys at Indian restaurants the world over. They vary between regions and families - often made with lentils, potatoes, or chickpeas and spices, and are fried or roasted over an open flame - both techniques having their own individual textures and flavors.
The dried wafers are available almost anywhere these days - I have seen them at most of the neighborhood groceries here in SE Portland. In this class, we will learn to cook with papadum in some exciting ways! We will make crispy fritters, a spicy Rajasthani curry, and chaat masala papad...all with versatile papadum!
Come to this class hungry - we will be tasting throughout the lesson - and all accompaniments (chutney, rice, etc.) and drinks will be served alongside.

Its wintry cold out and what could be better than a cozy bowl of soup and some fresh bread?
In this class we will transport ourselves to the days of the British Raj...
The Recipes:
Mulligatawny Soup
Little Garlic Naans
Green Apple Chutney
An Anglo-Indian style dish from the time of the British Raj, Mulligatawny is roughly translated from the Tamil words for "pepper-water" and our version will be lentil-based with plenty of curry powder, ginger, and coconut. Buttery garlic naans make the perfect dipping accompaniment and scoop up sweet and sour chutney quite nicely!
