Learn the 10 spices that make 90% of Indian dishes. Smell them. Toast them. Understand them. You'll never be intimidated by spices again.

12:00am — HANDS-ON COOKING (60 minutes)

We cook together: - It could be Fermented dosa batter (8-hour process explained + shortcuts) or seasonal curries (changes monthly) or Fresh chutneys or Masala chai from scratch You're doing the work. We guide you. That's how you actually learn.

We sit at the community table. Share the meal we just made. Connect with fellow food lovers. This is the magic part.

2:00pm — GOODBYE (FOR NOW)
