When talking about India, it's unusual not to mention its flavourful and diverse food. But there are many misconceptions about Indian cooking being really time consuming and difficult, requiring a lot of different ingredients, or that it can't be done on your own, and has to be very hot.
Through this tour, your host, Komal hopes to change these perceptions about Indian cooking, and India in general, as you learn how to cook authentic Indian food from your own home. You can follow along step by step or simply watch to try later as we show you how to make one of the most famous and delicious delicacies, Shahi Paneer along with an Indian Bread, giving you a restaurant-at-home experience!
