I have today just completed a half day foundation cookery lesson with Bakul at his home in Leicester. I fully intend to book a further course once I have had a few practice runs at today’s dishes. (Chicken bhuna, saag aloo, cucumber and carrot raita and beautiful steamed basmati rice) Bakul is extremely well prepared and organised and his style of teaching is relaxed and enthusiastic. His knowledge of Indian cuisine and influences is both interesting and enlightening as it unravels some of the mysteries I had regarding why different regions use different spices and ingredients. I have previously attended Indian cookery lessons in Birmingham, Leicester and London, however compared to my experience today, I now know that they were not authentic or correct in what they taught. I am going to add a pressure cooker and Indian spice vouchers, to my Christmas list right now. Thanks again Bakul, looking forward to my next course with you in the New Year. Kind Regards Tony.
