Cooking Class - Southern Indian Cuisine

What You’ll Do

Travel to southern India in this cooking class centered around a favorite regional ingredient: coconut.

Coconut is ubiquitous in southern Indian dishes. Learn how this ingredient is incorporated into a dish from the verdant southern Indian state of Kerala in this hands-on cooking class with Chef Kavitha.

Begin by mixing up a batch of appam, a type of pancake that is made with fermented rice batter and coconut. Then, prepare a vegetable stew with a coconut milk base accompanied by plenty of warm spices. To complete your meal, luxuriate in a true South Indian specialty: chicory coffee with milk and sugar.

Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

We had a fantastic time with this experience. Chef Kavitha was able to accommodate us in our tiny Brooklyn kitchen and came with all the supplies she needed. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the cuisine and was able to answer a lot of questions, and we learned a ton. The food was also delicious and it was fun to try to cook our own dosas.

We had a great time cooking with Kavitha. She was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with. Kavitha was impressively organized and most of the ingredients were presliced/chopped so we could spend more time on actually cooking the meal, which was DELICIOUS!

Kavitha’s South Indian Dosa cooking class is FANTASTIC! I booked her for my girlfriend’s bday and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Kavitha was very detailed in her explanations of the recipes, as well as the history behind each dish. She walked us through each item step by step, and the final dishes were so tasty. She is very talented and we recommend you try out her south indian dosa class - you won’t regret it.
