Chef Raaje was so welcoming and a pleasure to have as an instructor. The class and recipe was very easy to follow even as a beginner. She is mindful of your spice tolerance and everything came out so delicious! I would definitely recommend her class to anyone who has an interest in learning how to cook Indian cuisine.
We had such a fun experience with Chef Rajeswari yesterday. She warmly welcomed us into her home and shared her knowledge, tips and techniques for preparing authentic, delicious Indian food. Although we cook regularly, we had little experience with this cuisine outside of a restaurant setting. ‘Raaje’ teaches in such an engaging way, using recipes that will be easily transferred to our home kitchen. We learned a lot and were rewarded with our tasty meal at the end! We highly recommend taking a class with Chef Raaje. It was lovely.

Chef Raaje was amazing. Her kitchen was super clean and well organized. She was funny and pleasant to be around and a great teacher. Above all the food came out great. I really appreciated how she explained all the different spices and the reasons why we were cooking with them. My wife had an excellent birthday. Thank you Chef Raaje!!! See you soon!!!

We took the Biryani class and had a blast! Chef Raji was very organized, had all the ingredients ready and prepared delicious masala chai and samosas for us when we arrived. She explained each ingredient to us, how we can prepare them at home or where we can find them in stores which was really helpful. All the ingredients she used were homemade, even the herbs were freshly picked from her garden! The food tasted amazing and overall it was a fun while educational experience. We not only learned how to cook delicious dishes but also learned about food from different parts of India. You can tell that Chef Raji put a lot of thought behind her classes and is really passionate about her food. I would definitely recommend her classes and would take them again myself!

This was an extraordinary class!
Chef Rajeswari is impeccably organized, and everything was perfectly measured and arranged for us to use. Especially since this is a new class, I was amazed at how smoothly everything flowed - Disney could take notes from her on how to handle cleaning and transitions!
We chopped the vegetables, chopped fresh herbs from her garden, and cooked/assembled all 4 dishes. I really appreciate how while we were assembling, she explained all the sorts of techniques and varieties in this style of cooking. For example, in our session I learned how to prepare the ginger garlic paste at home, the different varieties of Indian rice besides basmati, what sorts of oils work best for frying Chicken 65, and the delightful story of its name!
Most important, of course, is the listed dishes themselves - and those were phenomenal. For the Chicken 65 we prepared the marinade and fried the chicken, along with the delightful touch of fresh curry leaves at the end. I've never made biryani before - that is why I took the class - and the biryani that we made was more delicious that what I've had at restaurants. The raita and lassi were simple and very good - and I learned, for example, that I can add milk (and even ice cream) to my lassi to make it a bit smoother. After taking this class, I feel that I can make these on my own.
When we sat down to dinner, there was a ton of food that we'd cooked and it all smelled and tasted delicious. Chef Rajeswari also brought out a few items which were not on the menu that she'd prepared beforehand, and they were - of course - fantastic.
Chef Rajewsari (and her husband) is kind, charming, welcoming, and an absolute delight to learn from. Her recipes are delicious, and she is just really fun to be with! I will be trying out the printed recipes on my own in a few days, and I fully intend to take more of her classes in the future.
