Today we had the wonderful opportunity to take an Indian cooking class in a real Indian home. We got to create our menu consisting of staples of Northern Indian cuisine and it was a private lesson for just us. We had a great time with Swarti, who was really a patient teacher, and enjoyed a wonderful lunch which we had meticulously and tirelessly slaved over for the past few hours. Our menu included Chapati bread, Samosa's, Vegetable Curry, Chana Masala, and Sweet Lassi with Saffron. We really feel like we can go home and re-create these recipes!Saffron Lassi Recipe
Ingredients:
2 cups plain yogurt
2 tablespoons sugar (or to taste)
1 teaspoon saffron
1 tablespoon cardamon
1 cup milk
2 tbsp white raisins
1 tbsp cashews
4 almonds
Directions:
Soak almonds in warm water; set aside.
Mix the yogurt, milk, sugar, saffron and 1/2 of the cardamon together to create a thin yogurt consistency.
Peel almonds and cut into thin strips.
Add white raisins and cashews to yogurt mix. Garnish the top with almonds and remainder of cardamon.
Enjoy!
