A North Indian Thali @ Islington HQ

Vegan Thali Masterclass Celebrates the Flavours of North India

Discover the vibrant traditions of North Indian cuisine in a hands-on cooking masterclass dedicated to creating a beautiful vegan thali. Guided by an expert chef, participants will learn how to prepare a selection of authentic dishes while exploring the spices, techniques, and flavours that make Indian food so unique.

Throughout the session, guests will create a creamy lentil daal, perfectly cooked rice, and soft handmade chapatis while mastering essential skills such as kneading and rolling dough. The class also includes preparing chickpea masala, spiced vegetable sambharo, and crispy fried okra to complete a colourful and flavour-packed thali.

Combining demonstrations with practical cooking, the experience helps participants understand the balance of spices, aromatics, and cooking methods used in traditional Indian cuisine. Working solo or with a partner, guests will gain confidence in recreating these dishes at home with the help of a digital recipe pack.

The masterclass concludes with participants plating and enjoying their vegan thali together at the chef’s table. Complete with all ingredients, equipment, aprons, refreshments, and a complimentary welcome drink, this immersive experience offers a delicious journey into Indian cooking filled with flavour, creativity, and new skills.
