Chef Ramona Borthwick (aka 'The Well-Tempered Cook') is leading an Indian cooking experience as part of Cooking With Chefs at The Inn on Park Street.

Although the preparation of Indian cuisine can be a time-consuming affair, with the right spices and ingredients on hand, there are some dishes that can be prepared in a matter of minutes. This class introduces you to the spices and basic cooking techniques of Indian cuisine, while preparing dishes such as Madras Shrimp, Murgh Jaipuri (chicken in a spiced cream sauce), Baingan Bharta (smoked eggplant), Methi Matar Malai (Peas in a rich fenugreek flavoured sauce), Palak Paneer (Moghlai spinach with Indian farmer's cheese), Nariyal Chaawal (coconut rice) along with accompaniments.
