My friend from Chennai India is thinking about teaching cooking classes on healthy, vegetarian Southern Indian Cuisine out of her home. She lives just outside of Davis Square, near Tufts. I wanted to help her gauge interest from the community. She'd offer a four hour class for $50/person ($80/couple), food/materials included and of course you get to eat everything at the end!

If people are interested or have questions they can e-mail me at mberbeco at hotmail.com or respond to this posting.

If she can teach me how to properly make samosas, I'm definitely in - I swear being able to make that dough is genetic!

That sounds like fun. I would definitely think about signing up. What kind of dishes would she include?

I'm totally in. And fwiw, South Indian Cuisine is way different than Indian restaurant food (typically northern-style)

If you want some South Indian food, check out: http://www.thepongal.com/
Really tasty and covers a more wide range of food options in India.

You are absolutely correct!
The regional cuisine of India (North vs South) are way different from each other, and what you see in the Boston area is predominantly North- Northwest Indian cuisine.

I'd point to Helen Rennie's classes (http://www.helenrennie.com) as a good example of what the market looks like in Boston. Disclaimer: Helen's a good friend of mine.

Her classes are consistently well filled, and she's been making a living doing it for a good few years now.

Take from this what you will.

I might be interested -- my schedule sucks so it might be unlikely to work out, but it sounds like fun. As a vegetarian, cooking classes that aren't mostly-irrelevant are few and far between.

Yes please! We'd sign up as a couple. Please post here or email me at snoopymel@yahoo.com. When would it be? I'd love to give it to him as an anniversary gift (which is next month!)

Hi,

My friend Minda (userid “bobobb” on livejournal) posted last week about a South Indian cooking class. Thanks for expressing interest! I am putting together some classes for the coming weeks and wanted to let you know what I was thinking.

Menu items could include:

Sambhar: a savory lentil dish served over rice using tamarind, red chili and coconut.
Keerai Curry: a spinach and tomato curry with coconut oil, cumin and mustard seeds.
Vazhakai Curry: a raw banana curry with coconut, coriander and ground chili.
Poori: puffed Indian bread served with milk and honey.

These are the times available, please let me know which one works for you.
Sunday, November 8th: 3-6pm
Tuesday, November 10th: 6.30-9:30pm
Thursday, November 12th: 6:30-9:30pm

To reserve a place in my class, please e-mail me: pri.sun21@gmail.com. I do ask for a deposit in advance.

Classes will be $50/person or $80/couple. Materials/food are all included and of course we will all sit down to share what we have cooked at the end.

Classes will be taught out of my kitchen. I am located by Tufts.

I look forward to hearing from you.
