Join Shankari as she shows you how to make chana masala. This is a delicious and flavorful Indian curry with cooked chickpeas in a spicy onion tomato masala sauce. She will then show you how to make kitchari, a traditional Ayurvedic dish made with a mixture of yellow split mung beans, basmati rice and spices. A perfect weeknight dinner!
This class has a vegan menu.
About the Instructor: Shankari Arcot was born and raised in India. She has fond memories of her mother making all of their food from scratch and when Shankari moved to the states, she continued to have a deep love for her mom’s cooking and became passionate about learning how to make the dishes she grew up eating so she could share them with friends and family. Shankari’s proudest moment was winning the Iron Chef competition at the California State Fair. For the past fifteen years, Shankari has been teaching classes in our learning center, as well as giving guest lectures to the culinary students at The American River College and teaching global cooking to homeschooling families.
