My partner and I loved the course. Chef Meena was lovely and a polite host to us the whole time. We cooked shahi paneer with jeera rice and vegetable pakora. With Chef Meena's guidance, we were able to make a delicious dish that feels easy to make. We left with lots of leftovers and we look forward to trying it again by ourselves.

Verified guest reviews for this class
We very much enjoyed our time with chef Meena. We made pakoras, jeera rice, shahi paneer and coriander chutney. Chef Meena had also prepared tamarind chutney and rice pudding ahead of time for us. The food was delicious and we appreciated how simple the recipes were. We can definitely reproduce this at home. We’re very grateful to chef Meena for ensuring that the kitchen was gluten free and the recipes were all naturally gluten free. We would recommend this to anyone interested in learning how to create an authentic Indian meal at home with easy to find ingredients and easy to follow recipes.
Chef Meena was fantastic! She was extremely hospitable and the food was delicious. Highly recommend.

Booked the class From Chana Masala to Biryani with Chef Meena in Toronto
I took my mother to Meena's cooking class for as a birthday gift and it was a great experience. We made veggie biryani, chana masala and toppings for the chaat. Meena was a great friendly instructor, very organized and had recipes that took a bit longer already premade so we could have the full meal at the end of class plus leftovers. If you're looking for a relaxed cooking class, that is low pressure, homely where you get to learn a bit more about traditional Indian cooking, I would recommend.
Booked the class From Chana Masala to Biryani with Chef Meena in Toronto
We learned many things from chana masala to frying bhatura to making both chutneys. We made shahi paneer of which the base can be splendidly used for malai kofta and butter chicken. We also made chaat and pistachio kulfi and vegetable biryani. There are variations for how to make all of these but what I loved was knowing when to add certain spices and what oil to use. Vegetable or mustard. We didn’t have any Tupperware to bring so she kindly gave us takeout boxes to enjoy all the leftovers at home. Very helpful. The only thing I would have added was masala chai but since I’m off caffeine, we enjoyed hot and cold water.
