Workshop
Indian Food & Cooking Workshops
Ingredients, flavours, spices and utensils introduced through discussion, tasting and practical cooking, with attention to why sharing food matters.
In the session
Pupils meet the ingredients first: whole and ground spices to smell and compare, the utensils used to prepare them, and the methods that turn them into a dish.
Tasting and cooking then follow, with conversation about hospitality, sharing and the place food holds in family and community life.
Tasting and cooking
- Vegetarian tasting, which may include potatoes and dips, naan, chapattis and other suitable dishes
- Practical cooking of a simple vegetarian curry
- Making and cooking chapattis
- Handling and identifying spices and utensils
