Maria's South Indian Cooking Class

Reviewed By wilv402 - Wamberal, Australia

The class is at Maria’s house in Fort Kochi. I learned a great deal about cooking with spices. With Maria’s guidance the class of five cooked Kerala Fish Curry, Chicken Masala, Dahl and a coconut vegetable dish. It was all delicious. Maria provides copies of the recipes and willingly shares her knowledge of Kerala food and cooking. Well worth a visit.

An amazing afternoon spent with Nimi has taught me so much about Keralan food. As someone with fairly limited cooking skills and no previous experience cooking Indian food, the class was not intimidating and the explanation extremely clear. Nimi starts with an in depth explanation of spices and how they are used in keralan cooking, how things compares to north Indian cooking, tips on how to cook with the spices and suitable substitutes if you can find those spices back home. After this we started preparing the dishes Nimi had chosen for us, she gave us all a chance to get involved with various tasks and made sure to explain each step and answering any questions. After a few hours we could finally enjoy the fruits of our labour, which were delicious! Nimi is very knowledgable, patient, humble and brought good humour to the afternoon. She even encouraged us to email her with any questions whenever we liked. Nimi is understandably only able to conduct classes for 2 or more people. As I was travelling on my own, I asked if there were any upcoming classes already confirmed that I could join. She kindly organised a class for me and another solo traveller who had enquired and I'm so glad it worked out, the experience was amazing.

Neema's Kitchen

Neema's Kitchen is not a Cookery demonstration class but its a Hands on Experience of Indian Cookery.

Reviewed By Wander743460

Our group of six adults had a really interesting and enjoyable afternoon with Neema as she guided us through a variety of recipes in her immaculate kitchen. The introduction to the various spices and other ingredients that she uses was followed by a hands on cooking lesson of several varying dishes culminating in a wonderful meal for us to consume in a perfect conclusion to the lesson. Hard copies of the menus to take away with us was also a nice touch. We found Neema to be a really lovely and engaging person with a real passion for her cooking and a genuine desire to share her knowledge with others. Would thoroughly recommend.
