Explore the flavors, spices and techniques behind Indian cooking in this hands-on 4-course cooking class in San Jose. Guided by Chef Parsati, you’ll learn how to bring Indian dishes into your own kitchen using simple, local ingredients while building flavor with spices, aromatics and thoughtful cooking techniques. This 2-hour experience includes a 4-course meal.

Begin your 4-course meal by preparing chicken pasanda with yogurt, spices and ground almonds for a rich, aromatic main dish. Then, make tomato kachumber with cucumber and red onion for a fresh, colorful side before preparing saffron pulao with peas and basmati rice. It’s the kind of menu that makes “just rice” feel personally upgraded.

To finish, prepare sabudana kheer, a sweet tapioca pudding dessert. At the end of class, sit down to enjoy the full 4-course Indian meal you helped create. This experience is ideal for couples, date night, Indian food lovers and anyone who wants to feel more confident cooking with spices at home. Guests are welcome to bring wine or beer, and most dietary restrictions can be accommodated if noted before the event.
