We lovd it!

Incredible! Mukti is an amazing and very knowledgeable chef! As a former scientist, she always answers the “why” something works. I learned new techniques, information about fresh spices and we made 6 fragrant and delicious dishes!

Mukti was very welcoming! She was thorough and knowledgeable in the science of food. The dishes prepared were excellent. I highly recommend this class.

A wonderful class where I learned so much about cooking Indian food and cooking in general! I highly recommend it! Mukti is a gifted teacher and runs the class in a way that each cook gets special attention. I look forward to cooking Mukti’s special recipies at home! Sitting down to eat the meal at the end was such a treat! I will definitely take more classes from Mukti in the future.

I learned some new cooking tips, great class!
-
-
Fun class. Learned so much about Indian cooking and especially spices. Great choice of dishes and can’t wait to make them again. Will definitely take more classes.
-
Wonderful class! I learned so much about preparing Indian spices and cooking yummy Indian food.
-
-
This was a great class conducted in the backyard due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It is a must if you like Indian foods and want to learn to prepare at home. I had a wonderful time and it was so much fun. Learned some great techniques for mixing and using spices. The food was so delicious and Mukti was very engaging, explained all clearly making the food prep feel so simple. Greatest of all, the class was hands-on. Everyone had an opportunity to prepare, chop, mix ingredients and cook the food. Will definitely take another class at Mukti's. Awesome!
-
Mukti is an incredible instructor! She was very informative, patient, and friendly! I felt like I was cooking with someone who really cared about what I was making. I can’t say enough about this course and can’t wait to take more courses from Mukti!
-
The Indian cooking class was perfect and all the way from India with Mutki as the teacher. I have already made one of the vegan vegetable dishes and it’s delicious.
Thank you,

-
Mukti was very knowledgeable, thorough and patient. She taught us how to purchase, prepare and use spices, plus how to make the recipes. An excellent presentation and class!
-
I took Mukti's virtual "Authentic Indian Vegetarian" class and had a great time. Mukti took time to explain the value of Indian cuisine and explained all the main spices used in Indian cooking and their benefits. The dishes were delicious and healthful. I would recommend doing as much prep ahead of time as you can in terms of chopping vegetables and having everything ready...the class moves pretty fast but you get three great dishes by the end of it.
-
Mukti was great! She was thorough in her instruction and explanations of mixing and preparing the spices. The butter chicken turned out great and was better than in a restaurant. She also demystified the making of aloo paratha!
-
I’m so glad I took this class. The instructor was incredibly sweet and took time to answer all questions. The dishes (biryani, kebab, & raita) turned out great. I would recommend for anyone taking in the future to marinate their meats 24 hrs ahead of schedule & prep your spices & veggies.
-
I can’t believe that I was able to learn how to make THREE delicious Indian dishes in an hour and a half class online!! This was definitely a highlight of my quarantine! Mukti made everything easy to understand and it was easy to follow along because she sent us the ingredients and instuctions to prep in advance. I will definitely add these recipes to my collection of favorites!
-
-
The instructor was very responsive to my questions ahead of time. She was warm and encouraging and I leaned a lot in a short amount of time. She covers a lot very quickly so I highly recommend having everything chopped and pre-measured ahead of time. The food was delicious!
-
It was very informative .. she went very deliberately over the procedure and paid attention to all the students.
It was like attending private class.. I learnt a lot about Indian spices which I did not know before in spite of being from Indian background.
-
Mukti was a great instructor. She went over spice combinations and walked us through the toasting and grounding our fresh spice mixtures. The cooking class was set at a fast pace but Mukti made sure all of us could keep up. Educated us on how to pick out certain vegetables, and why certain ingredients went in specific order and made sure we understood the process as we went.
Learned a lot

Great Class and excellent instructor. My food was better than a restaurant meal. Thank you
for teaching me these techniques and explaining how to make it
extra healthy.
-
Our first online cooking class, gifted to us by our daughter, who also participated. It was really fun, instructive and delicious!
-
-
She is a good teacher learn lot of new things about cooking
-
Mukti taught us how to make gourmet samosas and how to make extra crispy pakoras. The food was excellent!
-
Excellent class! I enjoyed cooking with Mukti and the preps, the materials and the online cooking class were perfect! looking forward to join another class soon. Many thanks again for this very nice experience.
-
-
Very well done. Dishes turned out great.
Teacher was engaging, well organized, and helpful.
Will do this again.

My fiance and I took this class together - it was so much fun and the food was absolutely delicious!
-
Excellent class - teacher very professional and informative and knowledgeable. One of the best Indian classes I’ve been too
-
Great presenter. She was friendly, patient and knowledgable. Easy recipes. Fun and convenient being at home in my own kitchen.
-
I feel very fortunate being able to take Mukti's classes online as I don't live near NYC.
I'm learning a lot. Thank you
-
Great class! Learned a lot and had a fun time-definitely recommend
-
-
This was my second class with Mukti. I am loving them. She's lovely. I really like that she has multiple camera angles set up. It's easy to see and follow along. Already signing up for the next class. yum
-
I enjoyed learning to cook wth Mukti very much.
-
Mutki is amazing and this class was an absolute joy. Not only will she take you through the cooking process step by step but she will also provide great cooking tips, like how to make your pan non stick with salt, what kind of pans to use, where to buy your spices and how important it is to toast and grind the whole spices. Her joy and love of cooking is infectious. She constantly checks to see how you are doing, answers all questions, and patiently goes back over the steps if you fall behind. Mutki will send you the basic recipes in advance along with a list of ingredients and amounts. To get the most out of the class, read her information over and chop and prep as much as you can in advance as she suggests. You will be preparing three dishes in the class which are quite doable especially if you prepare. These delicious dishes were so much better than take-out.
-
So fun!
-
Great mastery of her craft and was able to pass knowledge to us.
-
Wonderful class!!! I loved it!
-
The experience was excellent! I loved the instructor! I learned so much.
-
Terrible on communication!! The class was cancelled and to this day no new dates have been set. I wanted to reschedule and opt for another class but you are impossible to reach
I am very disappointed to see your response as I have offered you to reschedule to a different class and you have agreed to join that class. I have tried to reach you via Whatsapp too and spoke with you.
-
Lovely food and patient teacher. My only problem was that it was sometimes hard to hear what Mukti was saying. I would recommend also that she have her participants print out the recipes so they can see the amounts for each dish. The food was YUM!
-
The instructor was very knowledgable about cooking and I appreciated learning the importance of grinding spices fresh. The food was excellent and I liked how she checked in on our progress, helping us troubleshoot problems as we went. I wish I had known to prepare some of the chopping in advance, however, as I felt a bit stressed for time during the class. I would take more classes from this instructor.
-
Need to adjust camera setting (positions) to see clearly while she was cooking.
Teacher is nice, so nothing wrong with her.
-
-
The food was amazing and the teacher definitely knew a lot.
I felt the class size was too large to get meaningfully involved (12 of us in a small kitchen sharing space and a subsequently small portion of food).
Otherwise it was an enjoyable evening.
-
Mukti's class was amazing! Not only did we learn to make authentic Indian food, we also took away helpful tips on essential cooking techniques and ways to use different spices. Mukti has such a warm energy and her directions were simple. Highly recommended for those hoping to expand their skills and knowledge on cuisines!!
-
Great class! Very hands-on and learned a lot of general great cooking skills as well. Mukti is so personable and made cooking Indian food very simple!
-
-
Mukti was full of knowledge and extremely helpful!
-
-
-
-
This class is held at Mukti's home, in her kitchen, which adds a more personal feel to the class. There was a total of 5 of us, which was the perfect amount of students since it's not a big area. We each did some hands on cooking, chopping, or preparing of the food. She is very knowledgeable about Indian cooking and the food came out delicious. I would definitely recommend her class.
-
Sorry for posting this almost 2 years after I went to the class with Mukti. It was totally awesome! My wife and I love her so much. She was so patient and knowledgeable that it made the class totally worth it. And then the food was great! Love her, Love the food, definitely recommend this course to everyone!
-
-
The best. I love every single moment.
-
-
-
I really enjoyed the experience! Mukti taught us a lot and was very receptive to all our questions. We got to smell, taste, and participate in every dish. It was a relaxed environment in which the three students in the class could chat while learning and cooking. Definitely recommend!
-
Mukti is so knowledgeable and a great cook, you will really benefit from her class and take home the history or love of cooking.
-
Unbelievable class! We learned so much and Mukti was so sweet and gracious!
-
-
-
Mukti is a thoughtful, talented cook and teacher!
-
Food was good but I feel like for the money paid there should be more value. Just to clarify class is in a private house and everyone is helping preparing the same Meal
-
-
-
-
Fun. Learned a lot. Food was fantastic. Mukti was great instructor. We learned alot about spices. So glad class was small. We got hands on opportunities to each get to make different things. Delicious food. Mukti really knew her techniques.
-
-
A really great class, loads of amazing tips. Would definitely recommend!
-
Mukti is fabulous! I would thoroughly recommend this class. Mukti generously shares her wealth of knowledge about Indian spices and cooking techniques, and I came away inspired. The class was relaxed, friendly, hands-on, and we all enjoyed the fruits of our labor at the end.
-
This was a great class with a superb teacher and EXCELLENT FOOD. If u like Indian food u should try this class. Definitely worth the money and time —SWEEEEET
-
Mukti is an awesome teacher and very informative. The dishes were delicious!
-
Mukti's class is the real deal! It has brought me so much joy this past week cooking with and for my family and friends, and I think all of the recipes will be weekly staples (at least until I can take another class listed on her website!) I’m so grateful to know I can prepare healthy organic and incredible tasting Indian meals at home with time and patience. I learned so much in the kitchen and was happy I could take a “treasure chest” of spices home for a reasonable additional fee. Check out her website and look out for the cookbook soon!
-
-
-
Mukti’s class was fabulous! I’ve always wanted to be able to cook vegetarian Indian food ( having been a vegetarian forever) but could never really get the spices right. I learned so much from Mukti’s class about using whole spices that I’m excited to try this on my own. And her cooking was better than any restaurant! Thank you!!
-
-
-
-
-
Mukti's class was fabulous! It was authentic, informative, hands-on - everything I had hoped for. Thanks Mukti!!
-
-
Excellent class, Mukti is a wonderful teacher. We learned to harness the power of spices and turn them into fantastic dishes. Highly recommended!
-
Great class! A fun stroll through the neighborhood for spice shopping and learning more about how to choose / find high quality spices. Finished up with some hands on cooking at Mukti's home to prepare 3 dishes - great concepts and basis for starting to experiment at home.
-
Great instruction. Not too much, not too little. Great food as well. I highly recommend this course.

This was one of the best classes I've ever taken, and I've taken a bunch (pottery, welding, glassblowing, stunt jumping, pie making etc.). Mukti is such a gracious host and her hospitality is soothing for the soul. She is knowledgeable, authentic, patient and sincere. Her food is a song in your mouth! She taught us about spices, what to look for; the stores to purchase these spices and the health benefits of many of the spices. We asked so many questions about the products in the stores and she took her time to explain everything. To quote her, "Pour your love into it and close the circle of the dish with the spice used for seasoning while cooking as a finishing touch on top-full circle." The dishes were amazing and the rice was so fluffy. I actually didn't want to leave her home- yes we were in her home! Additionally, the Indian spice company SWAD should sponsor her! In closing, this was a memorable experience (a memory) and I would give Muktiskitchen and Mukti my highest recommendation. I want to take more of her classes and am looking forward to giving this class as gifts to friends and family. It was an honor to meet such an amazing human and chef!
-
Mukti is warm, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Not only did we learn recipes and techniques for cooking vegetarian Indian dishes, but Mukti also gave us general cooking tips and pointers. We highly recommend this class!
-
Very friendly and accurate description.
-
-
I was I informed that I was going to learn how to cook lamb and shrimp and it turn that is was a began class, I thought that it was three students and we were ten any way I brought the spice box and I got the recepy for the vegan food. She is very nice lady.
-
Loved Mukti's class! She showed us the spices used in Indian food. More than that—she showed us how to choose the best quality spices and where to find them.
-
-
This class was perfection! We’ve taken cooking classes all over Europe - who knew the best would be in our own backyard?!? We’re telling everyone about Mukti, and picking out more classes to take from her. Are there more than 5 stars? She IS a star!
-
-
-
-
Absolutely loved this class! Mukti was sweet, warm and incredibly knowledgeable about Indian cooking. She shared tips and secrets as well as health benefits of the spices we used in the dishes. The food was tasty and fresh. After the class I felt more confident about Indian cooking and excited to cook the dishes at home.
-
Lovely lady, amazing food. She had great cooking directions and lots of little tips. The food tasted so different than Indian food in restaurants, so we're excited to cook more on our own. She's very sweet.
-
Wonderful and delicious experience!
-
This class was incredibly informative and educational! We learned A LOT of recipes and indian cooking secrets during our 3 hour class and received a great take away document with recipes and tips. Not everyone had the chance to get hands-on practice with each dish- we all took turns; however, I wish I had the chance to try cooking a bit of everything to help me learn. Mukti is very eloquent, knowledgable and passionate. She is a wealth of knowledge and will answer any questions you have! I was allowed to take photos but not take any videos.
-
Great class - Mukti was good at explaining the reasoning behind the ingredients/methods, and made cooking her dishes look really easy. We all ate the food we cooked together at the end of the class, and it was delicious.
-
-
Fantastic class! I went with my husband and we both learned a lot. The food was delicious!
-
-
Excellent cooking class. Kind Teacher. Mukti Makes it Look Easy. Nice Group. Delicious food. Fun evening !
-
Mukti is an enthusiastic, engaging and warm teacher. Her philosophy of life infuses her approach to cooking, and to engaging with people in her home through the course.
It is a modest size kitchen in her own home so the space is tight for a group, and the opportunities to engage hands-on are limited. But everyone gets to be in on the action one way or another and food and experience are excellent.
-
Great class in a cozy home with a lovely instructor. Wonderful experience and really delicious!!!
-
-
I traveled from Albany, NY to take the class, and it was well-worth it. Since the class, I have assembled all the necessary ingredients including spices and herbs. The class takes place in the instructor's home (you'll need to remove your shoes; consider bringing some indoor slippers to wear). I took several food photographs during the class (at various stages of the recipes). Mukthi is friendly and happy to answer questions about Indian cooking. She likes her ghee (clarified butter), but at my request, we kept the recipes vegan.
I look forward to recreating the dishes at home (she provided our class with copies of the recipes including Mukthi's Masala). You may wish to go to her website: http://muktiskitchen.com/
-
This class was GREAT!!!!!!!! She is one of the kindest most authentic person you ever want to meet, she answered all the questions the group asked with a smile.... Not to mention the food was the best I have ever tasted, I will continue to go to her class...
-
Mukti is amazing and her cooking skills are unparalleled. You feel a sense of family when cooking along side her as she creates masterpieces from scratch with no short cuts! The end result is food that touches the soul. Highly recommended!
-
-
-
In Mukti's kitchen I was able to see, touch, smell, and taste the raw, freshly blended, and cooked spices. It was an evening for the senses. There were four of us with varying requests: two vegans, so no ghee; one sensitive to peppers, so only one dish with mildly hot spices. Given these constraints, Mukti taught us to cook healthy and absolutely delicious appetizers and main dishes.
-
It was a great experience. It was a hand on experience with clear instructions and a friendly atmosphere. I recommend this to anyone looking to experience with Indian cooking and learning more about spices
-
-
I enjoyed the course, the instructor, and the food, but the class was not as advertised. Two of the dishes were made with ghee and thus not vegan. Additionally, the course description of the dishes to be prepared did not match the dishes we actually cooked. A substitution is fine, especially given the nature of picking the freshest ingredients, but to advertise five dishes and only make four was disappointing.
-
-
My first cooking class and it was the best. Mrs. Mukti is a very passionate cook and I am so glad that I was in her class with other nice people. Thanks for all kind explanations(and secret recipes) and great conversations.
-
Mukti is a wonderful cook and teacher. She has a wide knowledge of cooking in general and was happy to answer all of our questions. We left having all the skills to make several dishes! The food was delicious. We'd definitely take another class with her again!!
-
-
Mukti's cooking class was such an intimate experience in her loving home with such good people and energy. The dishes we made were some of the best I ever had in my life. What I loved most is her love for quality and everything being fresh and made to order : such as freshly grounding her spices used in her cooking, making the food the upmost flavorful and authentic tasting. I wish I can take this class five more times! You won't ever get this good of food in an Indian restaurant. Most of all, I love Mukti!!! Mukti has a background in biology which makes her a very special kind of cook. You can't get this experience from anyone else!
-
My husband and I enjoyed every minute of this experience. Mukti was warm and friendly and made us feel at ease instantly. The food, one word, delicious! We left feeling inspired and can't wait to try to make the dishes at home for our family and friends.
Thanks Mukti!

I signed up and paid for this class, it was cancelled and has not been rescheduled.

Mukti is a very gracious host and teacher. The menu was obviously thoughtfully organized so we could get the most instruction in the time allowed. Mukti is full of information that she shares freely. I learned a great deal and had good time.
-
-
Mukti is a warm and generous teacher. She patiently explains everything to her students, leads them through the cooking process and provides great tips and notes. We learned exactly what we had hoped to. I absolutely recommend taking a class with Mukti!
-
-
Cooking with Mukti is an AMAZING experience! I have always been intimidated by cooking Indian food (it just seemed too complex!). I signed up for Mukti's Spice Tour and she took us around the neighborhood and showed us how to recognize quality ingredients - we then returned to her home to actually cook a delicious meal.
Mukti showed us cooking techniques that simplified the process - but my favorite part was her enthusiasm for the science behind the cooking. She didn't just show us what to do - she explained why we doing it.
Aside from being knowledgeable, Mukti was extremely inviting (the cooking class takes place in her own kitchen) and fun to be around. Can't wait until her cookbook comes out and hope that I'll be able to return for another class soon!
My only wish is that I had found her on her website instead of via coursehorse, as it would have been nice to have had the entire fee go to a small business owner.
-
Thank you Mukhti! We had a great time, the class was informative and the food - delicious! Mukhti, you are very warm and transcend your passion to your students, a pleasure to learn from I highly recommend this as a casual class or celebration!
-
I really enjoyed taking a cooking class with Muktai. It was a " hands on " class, and we were given full explanations for the way her food is prepared, and the health benefits from the using the spices in her food. Her instructions were very clear. We then shared the meal we cooked together, and had a lovely discussion post class. She sent us home with copies of the recipes we prepared that day, along with the opportunity to contact her with any questions. She is an excellent cook, her food is delicious. Muktai is very personable, and I would take another class with her, and would highly recommend taking class with her.

Bought tickets for myself and a significant other to go and had a great time. Mukti is incredibly welcoming and made you feel at home. She was very clear and patient with all the participants and even made us have several good laughs. I loved this class and will be taking more now that I experienced what a great teacher Mukti is. I highly highly reccomend her courses!
-
What a wonderful experience! I learned so much and the food was delicious! Can't wait to take another class!
-
-
-
Great intimate experience
-
Mukti is lovely and offers a nice experience in her Kitchen. I think this would be a great class for anyone's first forray into Indian cooking.
-
Mukti was wonderful! She made a very concerted effort to make sure that each of her 4 students were not only learning what they signed up for, but also having a good time. Would absolutely recommend the class to anyone!
-
-
-
Mukti is a very talented cook. Although I found it a little difficult to follow as I am not accustomed to the spices and style of cooking, Mukti did a wonderful job complete with handouts and email follow up. I feel that i can contact her with any questions when I try my hand at cooking this style. I think the best part was that I learned many techniques that I can apply to all of my cooking. Some dishes are spicy but you can adjust that when you make your own.
-
-
-
-
Mukti really takes you into her home and shows you how to make delicious Indian food from scratch.
-
Overall the course was good. The food was tasty and the host was very kind and explained everything.However we felt the host could make improvements:
- House was a little shabby and there was an unpleasant smell as one enters the living room.
- There was an old dusty fax machine by the dining table.
- Mixtures had been left in the blender from a previous class.
- Guests were asked to leave abruptly
-
-
The lamb biryani class taught by Mukti was really a great experience. It was a very much hands on class and Mukti is very patient and encouraged lots of questions. The end result was a delicious meal of four dishes!
-
-
-
Mukti was great and an excellent teacher. My first time cooking Indian after this was a huge success! Thanks!
-
-
-
-
IT WAS AMAZING!!!! I was like catching up with old friends. The instructions was nicely put together. It was easy and being able to enjoy the fruit of your labor was a major plus. I wasn't a fan of Indian food, but now knowing the work and love that goes into it, I am hooked. Thanks Mukti!!!
-
Be prepared for a hands on learning experience. I got the course as a birthday gift for my mother and I; she enjoyed everything from start to finish. Chef Mukti welcomed us into her home with tea and delicious food. I recommend this class to every home cook looking to expand their party menus.
-
Wonderful instruction! Mukti was incredibly helpful both with dishes and advice on where to buy spices.
-
-
Thoroughly enjoyed this course! Mukti took the time to give us tips and tricks to make Indian cooking enjoyable and fun. The food we made was delicious! Can't wait to try out her other classes.
-
I give this class 41/2 stars. Mukti was very knowledgeable and friendly, and the food tasted great. The food we made was slightly different to what was advertised, but it was all amazing.
-
-
-
-
Great class, Mukti did a wonderful job of explaining how to recreate dishes in your own home--where to get ingredients, how to store them, and why. The food was great and we all had a good time, but she really wanted to make sure that we could take what we learned back to our own kitchens. Highly recommended.
-
-
-
-
Great class. Six people was the max. Very hands-on. Made Indian food less intimidating to cook. The chicken tikka masala it was amazing. And the rice dish was amazing. We toasted and ground all of the spices. It was very authentic and really good. Mukti is kind and passionate about her work. It was a great night.
-
Mukti was a great instructor and the finished product was probably the best tasting Indian cuisine I've ever had. I'd highly recommend for couples or anyone who likes to learn in more intimate settings.
-
-
Mukti was very knowledgeable and has a great friendly manor to her teaching style. Her class was well worth it.
-
-
The food was great and mukti is an excellent teacher. I would definitely recommend her and definitely will be coming back.
-
-
Mutki's class was a real treat! She taught us the key secrets to achieving the optimum flavor a of northern indian food. She answered all our questions and had us participate. It was a very intimate casual setting which was very enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend her class!
-
-
Mukti was great. She taught me things about cooking in general that can be used for anything. She was helpful and easy to follow.
-
-
-
Mukti is an incredibly patient teacher. She is extremely passionate about cooking and allows you to be hands-on during class. I learned a lot and plan to return very soon.
-
-
i enjoyed meeting the instructor and the other attendees. I liked going to the store and hearing about the brands names and how to compare products by color and type. I would recommend the class to anyone interested in learning the basics of Indian style cooking
-
Incredible cook! Very clear step by step
Extremely knowledgable with food and nutritious
Very friendly and great environment.
Murk I makes you feel as if you are in your own kitchen.
Loved the class so much.
I highly recommend it.

Great experience. Intimate and informative.

She's an amazing cook! Her shrimp dish was phenomenal. She takes her time teaching everyone about the benefits of the spices she uses and breaks down exactly how how to prepare each dish. It truly was a great experience.

Mukti was incredible! She is such a warm soul and took so much care to ensure we fully experienced not only the ingredients and process of cooking the dished but also the love that made the meals that we cooked so incredibly delicious. I would recommend this class (and Mukti especially) to anyone who loves cooking, as this was an amazing experience that we have been recommending to all our friends since we left. We look forward to our next class (of many more) with Mukti.
