This is going to be a Chef’s Table to remember with the exceptionally talented Monisha Bharadwaj and Richard Bertinet cooking with you the most amazing Indian feast.
This class will run slightly differently to our usual classes and start at 2pm, with the build up cooking continuing until you all sit down to enjoy the feast a few hours later. Of course, there will be lots of delicious tastings throughout the afternoon, before you sit down for this special dinner.
You will start with a Mumbai Mule cocktail, making your own spiced ginger syrup to add to the mix. Canapés will include baby puirs (flat, crisp biscuits) with prawn vepudu and aloo burrata chaat. For your main courses you will be making a lamb kofta pulao, murgh makhani, yellow dal with burnt garlic and lauki and meloni paneer subzi. You will finish with pineapple and sweet jackfruit rasayan.
Monisha’s wealth of knowledge will be liberally shared with you in this fully hands on class and you will learn how to use spices for depth of flavour to understand the subtleties of these magical ingredients.
The wine will be carefully chosen to match the food throughout the meal. There will be plenty of skills to learn during the class and you will take away some new skills to add to your repertoire.
Cook, talk and enjoy with Richard and Monisha on this meal to remember.
