In the global healing kitchens series, wellness chef Alia Dalal explores authentic, home cuisine from cultures with strong food-as-medicine traditions. In this class, we'll explore spice-laden and vegetable-rich Indian cuisine. Having worked at an Ayurvedic spa in India and growing up in a South Asian home, Chef Alia will share healing dishes and techniques that you won't find at your local Indian restaurant.
We'll cover the basics of Ayurveda (the ancient Indian approach to holistic health) which emphasizes using 6 major tastes, improving digestion, eating with the seasons, and eating for your individual body type for optimal health. Learn how to use staples like turmeric, ghee, dals (lentils) and curry leaves in everyday cooking.
Recipes include: - Basmati and Mung Dal Kichari
- Sarson ka Saag (Mustard Greens)
- South Indian Green Bean Pooriyal
- Cardamom and Fennel Tea
Class is vegetarian and vegan with the exception of an optional dairy (ghee) in one dish.
