Learn Punjabi Cooking with Bal | Cooking Class

Chat+Learn brings you the first in its cooking series focusing on nutrition for longevity and positive mental health. Paying homage to the traditional Indian dhaba (roadside cafe) we’re bringing notable dishes to a cosmopolitan city. We believe good fuel for the body powers a healthy emotive state whilst feeding the gut a diverse set of wholesome foods.

Whether you’re taking your first step into the kitchen or have years of experience behind the knife, this class caters to those who are keen on plant-based recipes to add to their daily eating habits. Our recipes are packed with protein, fibre and a good source of carbohydrates. Daily consumption will allow gym-goers, office workers or even parents the opportunity to burn energy with minimal fatigue.

The class journey:
☕ The experience starts with filling up your thali’s cup with a hot drink, the Masala Chai, where the first lesson begins with understanding the ingredients that make this tea a staple drink of India and the best methods to bring out the rustic flavours that will soothe your soul

? Learn how to slice time as well as vegetables in the kitchen, the thali is a mixture of small dishes (think tapas) and with five small bowls to fill you will learn how to prep the ingredients for a fun kitchen experience that is time-efficient

❤️ This is a class where generational culture meets the science of food, using the latest research the tweaked ingredients keep longevity at the heart of our dishes

? As a community-based class you will prepare the dishes in small groups learning the secrets of down-home cooking, building the dishes one by one, step by step as a team

? More than a culinary experience, this is an opportunity to chat with like-minded foodies, get stuck in, share stories and bring your humour with you

?️ Dishes cooked to be enjoyed homestyle that same day as a group with views overlooking Clapton Common

? Where restaurants offer takeaway food, our kitchen experience offers takeaway recipe sheets, learn from us, repeat at home and you’ll soon be teaching your friends and family

? Step into your kitchen-based gym, by stirring the pot and getting behind the chopping board you’ll be using your full body muscles, as this is a Punjabi cuisine there will be kneading for the Chapathi so you’ll be exercising without even knowing it
