Indian Cooking Online w/ Yamini

Learn to make delicious aloo paratha, (handmade flatbreads stuffed with spiced potatoes and onions), refreshing cucumber and yogurt raita.

Since Yamini can’t physically welcome you into her home, she wants to do so virtually! 

Our online classes are designed to be special, meaningful opportunities to share cooking, culture, and connection--just like our real life experiences. We want you to cook along, and we promise there will be plenty of time for questions, conversation, and stories. It will all end with a virtual dinner party where you'll get to share in the fruits of your labor, apart, but together! 

 In this 2.5 hour interactive online experience Yamini will guide you through making three of her family recipes. First you’ll learn Yamini’s secrets to making aloo paratha--delicious handmade flatbreads stuffed with a mixture of spiced potatoes and onions. You will then learn to make two accompanying sauces--a cooling cucumber and yogurt raita.
