New York City is famous for its food, and in addition to many different restaurants, you’ll also find a wide variety of different cooking schools, including many options for in-person Indian cooking classes.

Mukti’s Kitchen is located in Brooklyn, which is about five miles outside of New York City.

Virtual Indian Cooking Classes & Schools

Thirty years ago, if you wanted to take a cooking class, you’d have to drive to the cooking school, and meet with the instructor and other students in a kitchen or classroom. This would mean you could only attend a school close to your home, and you’d have to spend time and money commuting there. Now, you have another option. If you want to learn to cook, you can choose a virtual class, where you log in online, and participate in a virtual cooking session through your computer screen. This option gives you a lot more flexibility, and has become extremely popular in recent years. You can learn a wide array of different topics online, and will find many different online Indian cooking classes. Just be aware that with an online class, you’ll probably have to supply your own ingredients and cooking equipment, unlike with an in-person class, where these are often provided.

Indian Cooking Online w/ Yamini is an online class offered by the League of Kitchens, which is made up of a group of women from around the world. These women teach their family recipes, and share their personal stories. Students who take this class learn three of Yamini’s family recipes: homemade flatbreads stuffed with spiced potatoes and onions, refreshing cucumber, and yogurt raita. They also share questions, conversation, and stories, and finish with a virtual dinner party. The class is two and a half hours long, and costs $50. There is an average of 13 students per class. The League of Kitchens has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, The Splendid Table, and Time Out New York.

EZ Compliments is a cooking school that runs a variety of different online cooking workshops. It is based in Andover, Massachusetts. Chef Shilpi runs the classes. She was born and raised in India, and works to share her passion for Indian cooking, and help more people enjoy Indian food. In the Tuesday Workshop Series, students cook a different complete meal in each session. Some menu options include chicken rogan josh and cumin rice, goan fish curry and peas pulao, and keema matar and plain paratha. Students can sign up for an entire four-week series, or just one class at a time. Each dish can be personalized according to dietary requirements, including vegetarian or gluten-free needs. It costs $50 to take one class. Classes run for an hour and a half on Tuesday evenings, and the average class size is about 12. There is also a Thursday Workshop Series, which is on Thursday evenings.

You can also learn Indian cooking through Mukti’s Kitchen, which is a cooking school based in Brooklyn, New York, but offers online classes as well. School founder Mukti Banerjee opened her school so that she could share the variety and uniqueness of her Indian cooking with others. She also strives to empower people to cook their own food and make healthy choices when they do so. In Authentic Indian Vegetarian, she teaches students to make eggplant masala, saag paneer, and vegetable pulao/pilaf. This class costs $75 and meets over Zoom.

You can also learn Chai Making virtually, through New York City-based Food Craft. Chai is a beverage that originated in India, and contains black tea, spices, sugar, and milk. It is believed to have a number of health benefits. In this class, you’ll learn the history of chai, some of its health benefits, and will make authentic masala chai tea. Prior to the start of the class, each participant gets a kit that contains tea, sugar, milk, and a variety of different spices.
