To begin, make a garlic naan from scratch. Then, make a creamy chicken tikka masala with yogurt, tomato sauce and garam masala. Next, use paneer cheese and spinach to make saag paneer. Later, share the dough into classic Inian samosas filled with veggies. Finish the meal with a decadent mango lassi served with ice cream for a sweet dessert.

I loved the class! Test did a great job with balancing modeling and involving our group. I enjoyed the class being at her house around the big island. It felt casual enough that it wasn’t intimidating but I learned a lot. I also loved eating the food at the end of the night.
