Common Ground Food Co-op is hosting a virtual cooking class on Southern Indian comfort food on Saturday, February 18th from 3 to 5 p.m. Cook along with the instructor Sirisha Bhandaru in your own kitchen with dishes that highlight seasonal veggies.

The main dish you’ll learn to cook is a vegetable sambar, a hearty Indian stew with carrots, winter squash, onion, tomato, tamarind, coconut, sambar powder, and toor dal lentils. You’ll also cook some other Indian dishes: a potato stir-fry, steamed rice with ghee, and pappadams, a lentil crisp that goes well with sambar and rice. The vegetarian meal will serve two to three people, and there is a vegan option as well.

The class costs $40, including the meal kit with pre-portioned ingredients for the dishes. Meal kit pick up is the day before on Friday, February 17th. Instructor Bhandaru will lead this cooking class on Zoom. Sign up here.
