At this hands-on cooking class you will learn how to cook flavoursome Indian dishes!
While Indian cuisine varies from region to region, it's always underpinned by delicious spices and rich flavours. Led by an expert Indian cooking instructor from Otao Kitchen, you will spend a social cooking class learning how to identify and cook with these spices, as well as where to buy them and how to store them.
You'll also gain knowledge on the key ingredient in Indian cooking, ghee, the clarified butter that goes into all masala spice blends. The class will be a fun mix of demonstrations and hands-on making time chopping, preparing and cooking your dishes.
At the end of the class, everyone will sit down and enjoy the Indian food you have made along with a glass of wine or beer.

Recent reviews of Indian Cooking Class

  • 5/5 from Emily Pleece, attended Oct 2025: This Indian cooking class is my favourite class that Otao runs. It is a lot of fun, staff are great and the food is delicious. Highly recommend
  • 5/5 from Emily Pleece, attended Aug 2024: Our teacher was amazing. Very patient and friendly. The class was easy to follow and food was amazing
  • 4/5 from Peter Lambert, attended Jan 2024: The teacher was knowledgeable, very friendly, and generous. The lesson was really good, we had a great time, and the meal was delicious. The cost is quite high, which is only thing stopping me from giving this 5 stars.
  • 4/5 from Brian Morks, attended Feb 2023: Was very nice, had a good time. Teacher was great and very positive. Missed the part when to get the recipes via QR Code (Wine).
  • 4/5 from Narelle Raymond, attended May 2022: The first teacher did not explain things properly, there was a language barrier and difficult to follow. Second teacher was amazing very clear instructions and excellent. Disappointing that we didnt gook Prawn curry masala which was on the booking sheet. Also I came alone so to have to share ingredients and cooking with somebody where knew very little was difficult. Prefer to cook myself and have my own ingredients and utensils especially from a covid hygiene point of view when my partner was tasting things and double dipping the spoon in our combined meals. Different if I went with somebody else but this was stranger
  • 5/5 from Emma Morris, attended Feb 2022: We had a great time tonight. Lots of good food and good company. The curries were surprisingly easy to make and the naan particularly delicious.
  • 4/5 from Ruby Warber, attended Dec 2021: Really enjoyed my class at Otao Kitchen. The teacher, Dylan was very skilled and knowledgable. I liked how we had the option of gathering around, but also that the steps were live recorded and broadcast on the screen. The food itself was tasty and portions were great. My only suggestion is that at three hours it does go quite late, we went over and finished up at 9:45 and so I think it could have been run a bit faster, however with so many dishes I understand this is hard. Will definitely be back to try more types of cuisine!
  • 5/5 from Justin Binko, attended Jul 2021: I’ve done many many cooking classes - this one of the best. Great instruction, friendly relaxed atmosphere, helpful and extremely informative. Really took the “fear” out of Indian cooking - chef was amazing and I’ve book another cuisine with him. Oh the food was amazing Thanks so much
  • 5/5 from Miriam Balis, attended May 2021: Dylan was a fabulous teacher with a great knowledge of Indian cookery. We really enjoyed our hands on learning experience and the food was delicious. I am looking forward to attending further classes at Otao cooking school
  • 4/5 from Ross, attended Apr 2021: I really enjoyed participating in Dylan's class today. Super impressed with his knowledge about other cultures. And the Indian was divine!
