Set Menu Indian Cookery Class
A great way to get introduced to home cooked Indian food with some classic recipes to take away and impress friends and family!
What to expect
This hands-on class is a perfect introduction to Indian home-cooking for beginners and more experienced cooks. In this class you will learn to make a full Indian meal including four classic Indian recipes from scratch using fresh ingredients.
The dishes taught in these classes vary considering ingredients and food that is generally available and consumed during different times of the year. The menu typically includes a vegetarian and a meat/seafood main dish along with rice and accompaniments (raita or chutney). In addition to cooking these classic recipes, you will also learn about the history, traditions and stories behind these dishes.
As part of this experience, you will gain valuable tips to set up your own little Indian kitchen and preparing basics such as spice blends, pastes etc to make your life easier when cooking Indian food. We also spend time discussing and going through my spice pantry which will leave you with a greater understanding of the application and benefits of various spices used every day in Indian cooking.

I bought my girlfriend this as a gift as she’d always said she wanted to learn more about Indian cooking and how to create a great meal from scratch. This did all of that and more! Nidhi was superb at explaining the full process, including some cultural context to explain why food is made in a particular way. The food was excellent, the kitchen and home are also beautiful – all in all a great class that we would definitely recommend and will definitely come back in the future!

She took us through the recipes at the perfect pace, gave us loads of tips and was skilled at making sure all of us were involved in the creation of the dishes. The class size of 5 was just right and she created a really friendly atmosphere. The dishes were delicious and easily replicable, and I’ve already made two of the three dishes within a few days of the class. Thank you, Nidhi!

My husband and son went to a Saturday class with Nidhi at Meri Rasoi. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves and were very pleased with the chicken curry and dhal dishes they cooked. What thrilled my husband the most was learning how to cook rice properly. They have promised to recreate the dishes for me next weekend so I will also get to taste them! Thank you Nidhi, we would recommend this class to anyone who loves cooking.

Thank you Nidhi for a wonderful Saturday morning – learning to cook and sharing food. Getting a ‘cookery lesson’ as a Christmas present from my son was exciting in itself but to learn so much in such a short time was amazing. Am definitely coming to more sessions – looking forward to learning more and more…See you soon-ish

Nidhi is a wonderful host, and breeds confidence in her students. She is full of interesting stories and useful tips. I’ve always wanted to be able to cook in the Indian style, and now feel like I am capable of mastering the technique. Thank you Nidhi.

My partner and I went to one 3 h weekend class where we learned how to cook a few traditional Indian meals including tandoori chicken which we loved! We felt very welcome in Nidhi’s house and she was amazing at explaining everything thoroughly and also gave tips on how to cook other meals. Delicious, informative and fun! Thank you Nidhi! We hope to book again in the future xx Mark & Maria

Matt and I had a great morning in Nidhi’s beautiful home. She is a passionate, dynamic and fun teacher and makes you realise Indian cooking is simple, healthy and cheap! Despite Matt nearly chopping his thumb off, it was a very inspiring day and we can’t wait to use our new knowledge in the kitchen. There have now been countless discussions about a trip to Kerala… Thanks Nidhi! Thanks Nidhi, we had a great day and I hope your classes continue to do so well, I’ll definitely be recommending them.

Thank you so much for Saturday. I had a fantastic time, it was a great lesson and the food was delicious – I’m looking forward to putting what I learnt into practice! Your explanations throughout were clear and the way the lesson was designed to get us all involved worked really well. I’ve been telling everyone about it since and would definitely recommend you to others.

It was an enjoyable experience, in nice surroundings, the others on the event were good company, Nidhi was a great teacher and host. Good value as you get to eat the food that is cooked, get a mug of Chai tea on arrival and get to take home your apron along with copies of the recipes.

We’ve always loved eating Indian food, so when we found out about Nidhi’s cookery classes from a friend, we couldn’t wait to go. A truly unique cooking and dining experience, in a lovely setting, with the perfect teacher and hostess in Nidhi. We can’t wait to go back. Highly recommended!
