Masterclass: Plant-Based Regional Indian Cuisine

Together, we will explore the rich diversity of flavours and cooking styles found in different parts of India, including Goa, Mangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi/Kolkata—each region offering its own unique approach to spices, vegetables, and vibrant plant-based dishes.

Guided step by step, you’ll cook a colourful spread of dishes designed for sharing, while learning essential techniques, spice blends, and family-inspired tips to bring authentic Indian flavours to your own kitchen.

This masterclass offers a wonderful opportunity to discover the depth and variety of plant-based Indian home cooking while learning techniques you can easily recreate in your own kitchen.
