Mumbai, India - Hands on Curry

Today we went to Mumbai and did a cooking class with Jenny at "Hands on Curry". We started off
by getting to know each other better and apparently Jenny used to have a chocolate cake business and she did that for 12 years. Then Jenny started a cooking class. After we got to get to know each other she did a very formal welcome where she put a red dot on our forehead and put a marigold flower necklace on us.








Let's start cooking!



First she made a traditional lentil and curry soup called Dal and it tasted really good. Then she made what she calls a dry chicken.




She also made Peas Palau which is rice and peas with clarified butter and the smell was so floral and it tasted so yummy (I may have gone for 5th's).



She also made beet raita which has beets and yogurt and it was for if there was anything on the table that was spicy the beet raita is used to cool it down. It is also used to make a splash of color on the table. They also had really yummy nan bread.



There was also Paneer which is soft Indian cheese with cilantro green peppers and onions and it was really good.






After we ate we went to the market and saw lots of yummy fruits like longon which is a has a hard shell and the inside is a like a litchi and it was wonderful. There was also a mangosteen which has a plum color on the outside but a white color on the inside. The inside tastes like a bunch a different types of fruit and it was beautiful.
