Cooking Class at the Oberoi

A quick post on the cooking  class before I head off to the Kolkata Pride Parade.  I got a personal cooking class from the chief here at the Oberoi this afternoon.  Amazing demonstration and some really simple recipes that I get to try out on everyone at home when I get back.  We learned how to make Palak paneer (a really good spinach based sauce), Dal Tadka (a good, flavorful (not spicy) curry), and Laccha Paratha (a bread) that is made on the stove in the skillet.  Best of all, at the end, we got to eat everything that we learned how to cook.  Thanks to the awesome cooking staff at The Oberoi for the lesson and good time.  Lots of laughter and sharing of ideas and methods.  Best of all, Sarah learned that yes, you can buy cottage cheese in brick form in Wisconsin.
