Tired of cooking the same thing over and over again? Want to get some variety to your weekly meals? Consider spicing things up a little. Variety is the spice of life, after all, and Indian food takes this philosophy to heart.
Continuing Education and Workforce Training is offering four Indian Fine Dining courses. These classes will teach you how to cook some of India’s most popular dishes.
One such dish is Chicken Butter Masala, which is predominant in Northern India. This Masala is usually prepared on special occasions.
Another popular dish, Chicken Jalfrezi, is one of the most popular dishes in England. Coming from the time of the Mughals, the name comes from the Bengali word jhal, meaning spicy hot.
