• Chicago - Seize this distinctive chance to visit a local’s residence and immerse yourself in authentic culture and gastronomy. Engage with your host Ruby in her cozy family abode for a lesson in crafting a contemporary Indian fusion dish or a classic Indian meal, featuring her own innovative recipes and those passed down from her mother. The interactive cooking session will span approximately 2 hours, during which you’ll master the preparation of three homemade dishes. You may get to prepare fusion dishes like paneer “quesadillas” with tandoori onions and “crack” crema, Mexican-style corn eloté with Indian spices, curried cauliflower topped with chimichurri, poblano peppers stuffed with basmati rice, and a refreshing mango lassi. Should you opt for the conventional Indian cooking experience, please indicate your preference upon reservation. Potential traditional dishes include shrimp or chicken biryani with raita, a whole tandoori-style roasted chicken, or a seasoned potato and cauliflower concoction. Delve into the art and craft of Indian fusion (or traditional) cooking, and afterwards, join Ruby at the dining table to relish the meal you’ve contributed to preparing.
