Indian Cooking Class: Vegetarian Sharing Plates

Indian vegetarian home cooking is bold, nourishing, and full of flavour. And a great deal of it is naturally plant-based and gluten-free, not by design, just by tradition. These experiences are built around sharing that food with you, making it approachable, practical, and genuinely delicious in an everyday Aussie kitchen.This listing shows all upcoming in-person class dates in one place.

The sizzle of a tawa, the tang of tamarind, the crunch of puri shells, the colour and chaos of a chaat stall. Indian street food is bold, layered, joyful, and a little messy in the best way. In this class, you bring it to life in your own kitchen. Three volumes, three completely different menus. Each class stands alone, or work your way through all three.Full details and dates: classbento.com.au/journey-of-indian-street-food-m-vegetarian-cooking-class-sydneySouth Indian ClassicsDosa! That golden, crispy crepe that somehow manages to be light and deeply satisfying all at once. But dosa is just the beginning. South Indian cooking is one of the most comforting and nourishing regional cuisines in India, built around fermented batters that do extraordinary things. Three volumes, three completely different menus. Each class stands alone.Full details and dates: classbento.com.au/south-indian-classics-m-vegetarian-cooking-class-sydneyVegetarian Sharing PlatesIn India, the moment the weather turns and the first hint of rain is in the air, there is only one thing to do. Someone says it before anyone else can. Onion bhaji. It is that instinctive, that universal. And then there are the beetroot cutlets, pan-fried and golden. My mum had her version, and so did every household on the street. Made from whatever was left in the fridge and some stale bread. Humble ingredients, no fuss, and somehow always the most satisfying thing on the table. Add a warmly spiced green peas curry and a rich peanut chutney, and you have the kind of meal that stays with you. This class is built around that kind of cooking. Come hungry and leave with recipes you will actually use again.Full details and dates: classbento.com.au/indian-vegetarian-sharing-plates-home-kitchen-classics-sydneyCurry and Carry: Cook Now, Eat LaterTwo nourishing Indian dishes, cooked from scratch, taken home ready for the week. Real homemade Indian food, lighter than restaurant, practical for everyday life. Think Palak Paneer, Chickpea Curry, Smoky Eggplant Mash. The menu rotates each session so regular attendees always cook something new. You leave with around four generous serves of each dish, printed recipe cards, and the confidence to make them again.Full details and dates: classbento.com.au/indian-cooking-class-curry-and-carry-cook-now-eat-later-with-anu-sydneyIndian Grocery Tour with TastingEver walked into an Indian grocery store and not known where to start?
