I am very pleased to know that most of the people who attended the beginners course has enrolled on the next step course, really looking forward to it.

AIMS: To provide learners with hands on experience of learning to cook Indian food using fresh produce, herbs and spices.  Also to be able to recognize shortcuts, techniques and tips demonstrated by the Tutor and learnt during the practical sessions.

OBJECTIVES: The objective is for the learners to be able to know various spices, to be able to list the main spices used in making the sauce for different curry dishes and be able to prepare a full Indian meal from starter to main meal to bread and rice using simple to use techniques and fresh ingredients in the 5 weeks period

The final week of the beginners course was awesome,  we all had a good fun cooking Indian Bread and I cooked some sample dishes to go with it and then we all had a feast,  What a group happy cooking! See the dishes below:

There were 9 Learners on the course. After a quick introduction, we all started the preparation to make the Pakoras (Onion Bhajis)  as per recipe on my web site.

It was not long before we started frying/ tasting the Bhajis,  every one did so well and were so pleased.    Here are some fine examples:

A  new Indian cooking course starts on Tuesday 14th January at the City College Peterborough,  In the first lesson, I will help learners  produce Onion Bhajis, in fact they are called Pakoras, they are  great addition to  any finger buffet.
