Program Description

Event Details

Discover the vibrant flavors and comforting aromas of Indian home cooking in this fun, family-friendly class! Together, we’ll make two beloved dishes — soft, golden Cheese Naan, stuffed with melty cheese, and a hearty, protein-packed Chickpea Curry (Chana Masala) simmered in a fragrant tomato and spice base.

This hands-on class will introduce you to the essentials of Indian cuisine — warming spices, balanced flavors, and nourishing ingredients. No prior experience is necessary — just bring your curiosity! You’ll leave with new skills, simple spice knowledge, and the confidence to recreate these comforting Indian favorites in your own kitchen. For families to do together, adults and kids working together! Ideal for families with kids in elementary school and up. 

PLEASE REGISTER EACH INDIVIDUAL WHO WILL ATTEND: BOTH CHILDREN AND ADULTS.

Please note: Allergy substitutions are not available at this time.  

This class will be conducted by Nita, a local mom with a deep passion for sharing the joy of wholesome, nutritious recipes with the community. Her love for cooking stems from a desire to make healthy eating accessible and fun for all ages.
