However, you don’t need to be a vegetarian to enjoy the rich diversity of what you can achieve with vegetables and spices, and this course will help you to appreciate the depth of these flavours.
The menu for this course includes vegetable pakoras as the starter. You’ll then get to cook chana puri which is a delicious chick pea curry
