Description
The most pressing matter for a new immigrant is assimilation into their new environment. Just as Indian food has caught people’s fancy in the last decade, Indians are equally fascinated by western cuisine. Indians, however, love their spices too much to give up in favor of a relatively bland food of the western world. And so, we have combined everyday spaghetti with garlic, ginger, chili paste with a spec of garam masala, we have substituted Indian vegetables for Mexican quesadillas, we have scrambled eggs with cumin and green chilies. This class attempts to explore this emerging fusion of eastern spices with western ingredients. Possible recipes may include Aloo quesadillas (quesadillas filled with potatoes and cilantro chutney), masala vegetable spaghetti (pasta with vegetables and a bunch of Indian spices), Akuri (scrambled eggs with onions, green peppers, cumin and hot chilies). Please come and join us for an evening of Indian fusion food.
Please note: There is a $20 food fee is payable to the instructor at the class. Portions of class may be filmed for LexMedia.
