What You’ll Do

This class focuses on creating a complete meal with dishes that perfectly balance spicy and cooling elements. You’ll start with “Chicken 65,” a crispy and flavorful dish made with boneless chicken, ginger, garlic, lemon and just the right amount of chili heat. Next, learn how to make a classic chicken biryani infused with warm spices like garam masala, fresh mint and a rich masala blend. To balance out the spices, you'll prepare a cooling cucumber and onion raita made with creamy yogurt and fresh coriander. And for a sweet finish, you'll whip up a smooth and refreshing mango lassi using mango pulp, yogurt and a touch of sugar.

Excellent teacher! Rajee is very professional and she has a beautiful clean kitchen. We will definitely be recommending our friends take her class

- Jennifer

Warm and friendly Chef Raaje hosted a phenomenal class. The dishes were delicious and will be easy to make at home once she teaches you. “Chicken 65” is my new favorite protein. Chicken Biryani is a flavorful one pot chicken and rice dish. We also learned the culture of south indian food. Thank you so much Chef Raaje ❤️

Chef Rajeswari was amazing!!! I took the class with my boyfriend to celebrate his boyfriend and we had such a great time. Chef Rajeswari was super patient, informative, and helpful. She took the time to explain the process and benefits of the ingredients throughout the process. We would definitely recommend this class. Thanks again for everything Chef Rajeswari!

I did the South Indian cooking class with Chef Raaje. We learned how to make 4 dishes total and I had so much fun! Even though I normally don't cook much, Chef Raaje made me feel very at ease the entire time and was very attentive. Apart from the recipes, Chef Raaje was also very helpful and shared a lot of cooking tips and knowledge throughout the class. I would definitely recommend this class to anybody, whether you are a seasoned cook or just someone who wants to try something new and different!
