Join us for a hands-on Indian cooking class focused on two popular breakfast and lunch dishes: uppuma (made with cream of wheat) and dhokla (a gluten-free dish made with chickpea flour) with a coconut-mint chutney. Local chef Jayashree Iyengar of Popping Mustard Seeds will teach participants about the history of these dishes along with the process of how to prepare them at home. Participants will eat their creations together and leave the class with the knowledge of how to recreate these popular dishes for themselves!
This will be an in-person class. Chatham University’s current policy requires COVID-19 vaccinations for all students participating in face-to-face classes or campus activities. Additionally, the current policy states that mask-wearing is required indoors.
Refunds will be issued up to 48 hours before the class.
