I had the pleasure of participating in an Indian Cooking class taught by one of my clients Suman Govindan. Suman is an accomplished cook and instructor who prepared a complete meal from appetizers to dessert.
She uses a terrific stainless steel container for her spices such as coriander, cumin etc with a cover which lets you easily access your most used spices. I am going to try to find a container like it. Suman purchases her spices and fresh vegetables at Spices of Asia in Norwalk and the final result of the meal was absolutely terrific. On the menu was Pekoras, which is similar to Tempora with vegetables dipped in spiced batter and fried.
The main course was Butter Chicken served with stir fried yard long green beans and cumin rice. Dessert was a ricotta based dish with confectioners sugar, vanilla and pistachios. Delicious and many thanks to Suman for a wonderful lesson.
