Our mission

Our mission is to make Indian cuisine accessible to everyone. We often notice that our guests think that:

Indian cuisine is extremely difficult
Indian cuisine is only for advanced cooks
Indian cuisine takes a long time
Indian spice mixtures are hard to make

With our 3,5 hour Indian cooking class we want to show you that Indian cuisine can be very accessible, even for novice cooks.
Furthermore, we are happy to show you how you can have butter chicken, matar paneer, gobi ki sabzi and dal on the table in less than 2 hours.
We use ingredients that are available everywhere, and the spice mixtures and gravy are made 'from scratch'.

1. Key ingredients of Indian cuisine

Authentic Indian cooking starts with the right ingredients. However, you find many variants and brands of certain ingredients in the Asian supermarket or Indian stores. We explain which ingredients and brands are best to use, and why we use them.
