Indian Cookery Courses
At Courses for Cooks we now run 2 different menus that focus on Indian recipes. These courses are ideal for men's birthday presents as well as for couples who want to learn to cook together.
These cookery days focus mainly on savouries and usually feature Thali-style platters of Indian dishes from this list:
- Mango and Yoghurt Curry
- Malabar Prawn Curry
- Goan Vegetable Curry
- Chicken with Coriander, Spices and Yoghurt
- Lamb Kofta
- Punjabi Chicken Curry
- Paneer with Spices, Tomatoes and Peppers
- Creamy Vegetable Curry
- Marinated Fish with Chutney
- Lamb Samosa or Potato and Pea Samosa
- Vegetable Pakora
- Onion Bhaji
- Strawberry Shrikandh or Coconut or Cardamom Ice Cream
These cookery days are often attended by vegetarians/pescatarians who don't mind some meat being prepared in the kitchen at the same time. There are numerous vegetarian and seafood dishes on the menu - please ask if you are unsure about whether it will be appropriate for you to attend on the date that you have in mind.
Popular with everyone, this course is especially useful as a gift for men. It is not unusual for some dates to consist of 8 men [who have all been given this cookery course as a gift and have never met prior to the course] and us. Often wives get together and send husbands in groups as well. Some dates are more evenly balanced with men and women or with mainly couples - please ask if you specifically want a men-only or more mixed course.

Although we can cope with beginners on all our courses - it really helps if you tell us in advance so that we can guide you to the best choice of date. Please contact Sarah on 0115 9160861 if you do not have much experience in cooking Indian food already.
Many people who enjoy Indian cookery are often tempted by the chilli cookery course as well - the Cooking with Chillies course is available as a full day option too.

Hi Sarah. Andrew thoroughly enjoyed the Indian cookery course, he was really pleased with everything that he made and thought everything tasted great. He said it was the best present I ever bought him. Thanks again. From Cath, who bought her husband an Indian Cookery Course for Christmas, then Cooking with Chillies the next year and then he came back again for the new Indian menu with his brother
Hi Sarah. Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Indian Cookery day last week. I particularly enjoyed the structure of the day as it gave us the opportunity to see lots of dishes being prepared and cooked, the interaction with the other participants was also great. I've prepared a few at home....all of them successful - Naan Bread.....plain and a fab peshwari naan (didn't overflour them this time...honest!), Mango Chutney, Fish Curry, a version of Creamy Vegetable Curry. The day gave me the impetus to start experimenting and hopefully create a few dishes of my own (on the theme naturally). Thanks again & kind regards. Kevin
Thanks Sarah. I enjoyed the day.....Will be trying out the pakora, bhaji starters and chutneys. Will also try the fish curry as I thought that was the nicest dish of the day and it makes a nice change to have fish, indian style. Very informative about the chilli's etc. as well...... John
The final menu for each course is subject to change [due to produce availability] and I also amend the menu to accommodate allergies/major dislikes where possible.
