SFVS Calendar Update: Veg Cuisine of India Cooking Classes (new time)

[Guest guest]

During tonight's Introduction to Vegetarian Indian Cuisine, lifelong vegetarian

Shanta Nimbark Sacharoff showed us various spices (tumeric, saffron, cumin,

coriander, cayenne, mustard seeds, chilies, cilantro, cardamom, cloves,

cinnamon, ginger, hing, etc.) and then demonstrated several of their uses in

preparing stir fry vegetables, chutney and chai for us to sample. YUM-O!

 

The next 3 classes are stand-alone (sign-up for one or more) and will be offered

at 6–8:30 pm (instead of 2:30-5:30 pm as printed in SFVS calendar):

Tues., Aug. 4: Gujarati Dinner

Thurs., Aug. 6: Punjabi Feast

Sat., Aug. 8: South Indian Meal
