Sharmini is an excellent teacher who has a good sense of humour and is extremely patient. The day involves demonstrations and hands on cooking of a variety of dishes. Helen was an admirable assistant able to produce the necessary ingredients and equipment just as you needed them. I would certainly recommend this experience and although I was with a friend the other 6 students were all solo yet everyone got on well and bonded through a shared love of Indian cuisine.

Other dishes included a delicious raita with chilli (I never put these in a raita, but it again layered taste), onion pakoras (easier than you think), also she demonstrated and we tasted a tamarind chutney. I made the super easy chutney on my return home straight away, amazingly having all the ingredients to hand!!
We are having the currys, rice, pakoras and chutney tonight--seriously tasty. Oh forgot to say I actually managed plain rice that didn't stick together in a big lump!!
Many interesting tips to inspire and help. I am hoping to do the biryiani day later this year.
Sharmini's cookery book also available and has interesting home currys to cook rather than the usual tikka masalas etc.
I can thoroughly recommend this day, great fun, super food and interesting facts and tips. Do go!!
