Southern Indian Thali
Course Details
This Indian cookery course features recipes from Southern India, a haven for vegetarians and vegans. Many of our thali recipes are inspired by Tamil Nadu, the southernmost state of India which is almost exclusively vegetarian. We also take influence from Kerala and its array of wonderful coconut dishes.
On this Southern Indian Thali course we will use the flavours of jaggary, tamarind and coconut and spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, turmeric, coriander and fresh curry leaves in dishes that are specific to Kerala and Tamil Nadu. You will learn where to source all the ingredients used.
We will start this course with one of the most fundamental of all Indian cookery lessons: making fresh spice blend which will both get used to produce a range of delicious recipes.
Dishes we are likely to make are:
- Uttampam and Dosa
- Rasam
- Coconut Chutney
- Aloo Masala
- Brinjal Gothsu - Grilled Aubergine Pickle
- Samba Sadham - Cashew Rice with Pepper and Cumin
This course will include hands on cookery as well as some demonstrations. The course ends with a sit down meal around our dining table to enjoy the food made. Please bring a plastic container if you wish to take some of your food home with you.
You will receive a pack of recipes to take home including a full guide to Indian spices and ingredients; where to buy them and how to use and store them.
