Description
The Southern Region of India is known to the world for its coastal beauty, IT industries, and Classical Indian Dancing. The food of South India, however, though quite popular in India, remains a secret to the world. Unlike the cuisine of the North, South Indian cuisine is distinguished by a greater emphasis on rice as the staple grain, the liberal use of coconut and curry leaves and particularly coconut oil. South Indian cooking is even more vegetarian-friendly than North Indian cooking and incorporates fewer spices and simpler ingredients. Come, explore this cuisine and learn to make Uttapam (cream of wheat pancakes, the quick version), accompanied by onion and Potato Bhaji (stew), and end with a spicy Tomato Rice.
Please note: There is a $20 food fee is payable to the instructor at the class. Portions of class may be filmed for LexMedia.
