Instant Dosas

  • Chatham University Eden Hall Campus 6035 Ridge Road Gibsonia, PA, 15044 United States (map)

Join us for a hands-on Indian cooking class where participants will learn to make dosas, similar to savory pancakes. Dosas will be made both using cream of wheat and/or a gluten-free flour. Additionally, participants will learn to make Sambar, made with lentils and vegetables in a spicy tamarind sauce. These dishes are typical of South Indian cuisine and participants will learn about this type of regional Indian cooking. Participants will eat together at the end of the class and will leave with recipes and the knowledge to recreate these dishes at home. 

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.
