Summer Wealth on an Indian Table
India has perfected the art of cooking vegetables. There are many
vegetables that are available in the Twin Cities Farmer Markets which are exotic and make
wonderful Indian dishes. We will be introducing these new vegetables to you as many
of these vegetables are found in Indian cooking.
This class brings the tastes, flavors and the goodness of the summer market to your
kitchen.
In this class we also highlight the art of how to transform vegetables into wonderfully
flavored dishes by cooking vegetables with proper spices and giving it further dimension
by adding grains, yogurt, cheese, nuts or fresh herbs.
In the Indian Ayurvedic cuisine- summer is time to cut down on meats and rid the body of
winter toxins by creating dishes that are light and mildly spiced so we have created the
following menu keeping the season and using it to create health.
