The World Of Curry with Avishar Barua: Cultural Curry 101

Let’s Dive into a world where spices tell stories and curries become a passport to three distinct culinary traditions. Drawing from my personal journey growing up in America, having a heart from Bangladesh, and exploring the vibrant streets of Thailand, I'll guide you through the transformative art of curry-making. We'll explore how a humble mix of spices and technique can birth everything from a comforting Murgir Jhol that would make any desi auntie proud, to a perfumed Massaman Curry that dances on your tongue.
This hands-on class goes beyond just following recipes – we'll break down the building blocks that make each regional curry unique, from toasting whole spices for Bengali-style fish curry to crushing fresh herbs for Thai curry paste. Whether you're tired of one-note curry powder or ready to graduate from store-bought pastes, you'll learn to build layers of flavor that honor tradition while embracing the creative spirit of modern cooking. By the end of our time together, you'll understand why curry isn't just a singular spice blend, but rather a global conversation about comfort, heritage, and the joy of feeding those you love.
