South Indian Cooking Class at Dekalb Market


Last weekend, I taught my first South Indian cooking class at Dekalb Market in partnership with Plovgh, an online farmer’s market.  Plovgh provided veggies from local farms that went into the dishes we cooked.

South Indian Cooking Class @ Dekalb Market on April 8th

Dekalb Market
I am so excited to be offering up a South Indian cooking class at Dekalb Market’s Spring Weekender.   Dekalb Market is a community space housed in repurposed shipping containers in Downtown Brooklyn (yay close to Fort Greene!) and one of the masterminds behind the whole amazing space is my friend, Joann Kim Nunez.  They are holding the Spring Weekender April 7th and 8th to kick of the full season of art, food, film and other cool events.  This event should be really fun and will feature all sorts of local vendors, a flower market, cooking & gardening workshops, live music and drinks.

Lentil Leek Soup with Fried Spices

Asha’s Ambode (Indian Falafel)

I’ve been wanting to share the recipe for ambode, the South Indian equivalent of the falafel ball for some time. I was lucky enough to learn the recipe recently from my Auntie Asha, who is an expert ambode maker.

The Food in Delhi

I wanted to follow up my last post on Delhi markets with some photos of the foods I like to eat in Delhi.  Pictured above is a giant skillet of potato curry, paneer and veggies that you could get made into a chaat.
