Craving a proper Indian curry, or looking to add more protein-rich plant-based meals to your weeknight cooking? This 5-class bundle is built around the most satisfying, nourishing dishes in Indian home cooking, all vegetarian, all full of protein, and all ready in about an hour.
This is about modern, home-style Indian-inspired cooking, the kind of food I actually cook on busy weeknights. Lighter than restaurant Indian, faster than you'd expect, and made with ingredients you can find at any supermarket or Indian grocery store.
Each session we cook one dish together, just the curry, ready in about an hour. Log off, sit down, dinner is served. Have some rice or bread ready on your side and you're set.
What's on the menu
  • Mung Bean Curry (Usal): the home version of Misal, warming spices, crunchy toppings. A Maharashtrian staple that surprises everyone who tries it.
  • Palak Paneer or Tofu: homestyle spinach curry, no heavy cream
  • Peas & Paneer or Tofu Curry (Matar Paneer): tomato-based, warm and comforting
  • Egg Curry: bold spiced tomato-onion gravy with boiled eggs, tofu swap available
  • Kidney Bean Curry (Rajma) or Chickpea Curry (Chana): thick, wholesome, North Indian classic. Great for batch cooking.
Not keen on one of the dishes? Send me a message and we'll find a swap that works for you.
Most dishes are naturally vegan. Dairy appears in some recipes, with tofu swaps always available. The majority of the menu is also gluten free. If you have specific dietary needs, send me a message before booking and I'll make sure the sessions work for you.
Why you'll love it
  • Five protein-rich dishes, all plant-based or easily made so
  • Perfect for meal preppers, many dishes are great for batch cooking
  • Beginner-friendly techniques that build confidence with spices
  • Smart shortcuts for weeknight cooking
  • Each dish ready in about an hour
  • All vegetarian, mostly vegan-friendly, largely gluten-free
How it works
Each session has a set dish. You'll receive the details before each class so you know exactly what to prepare.
Cook along live. Dinner is ready as we finish.
What you'll get in your craft kit
You'll receive the recipe card before each class with the full ingredient list. If you have any questions about ingredients, just message me.
Each dish has its own spice profile. Some use a simple set of everyday spices, others call for something more specific. Most everyday ingredients are available at your regular supermarket. Less common ingredients are available at your local Indian grocery store.
Optional add-ons at checkout:
Dry ingredient pack, 5 classes ($85): spices and dry goods for all five dishes. Delivered before your first class. Dishes are confirmed in advance so the right ingredients can be packed.
Indian Spice Box ($50): a traditional Indian steel spice box, the kind you'll find in every Indian kitchen. A great starting point for your Indian pantry.

Growing up in India, I initially had reservations about cooking, viewing it as tied to traditional gender roles. However, surrounded by the rich flavours and vibrant colours of Indian cuisine, I developed a love for cooking and sharing meals, inspired by my Mum's recipes and her emphasis on incorporating more vegetables into traditional recipes, instilling in me a deep appreciation for wholesome, nutritious food.
While my roots lie in traditional Indian cooking, my culinary journey expanded when I relocated to Australia 15 years ago. Exposed to a melting pot of cuisines, I found inspiration in blending traditional recipes with modern influences. Whether it's crafting comforting one-pot wonders like dal soup or experimenting with innovative twists on classic dishes like air-fried pakoras, and puff pastry samosa, cooking became my creative outlet and a way to express my rebellious spirit.
My approach to cooking values simplicity, practicality, and creativity, prioritising the use of fresh, seasonal produce while also embracing the convenience of store-bought ingredients to sustain a demanding lifestyle. I strive to strike a balance, ensuring that my dishes are not only delicious and healthy but also simple to put together.
I am here not just to share the recipes; but equally want to help foster a community of passionate, intuitive cooks, infusing spices in their day to day and promoting mindful eating practices.
Beyond the kitchen, I lead an active lifestyle, work full time and find myself to be very fortunate to be able to live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Having met my husband in Sydney, we bonded over our love for food, wine, running, cycling, camping, traveling and reading. With the support of my Australian family and friends, many of whom have been my enthusiastic guinea pigs turned cheerleaders, I'm excited to share my passion for Indian plant based cuisine with the world.
