Backgrounder: The Indian Subcontinent is one of the cradles of civilization. It is the birthplace of 3 of the world’s great religions. Some of the many gifts India has brought to our modern world are the foundations of modern mathematics, metal smelting, textiles, a vivid literary and artistic history as well as a delicious, subtle and varied cuisine. To many people, the name “Indian Food” conjures up images of complicated, very spicy dishes. Nothing could be further from the truth. Much of Indian cuisine relies on simple, locally sourced ingredients and the level of spice is entirely up to the chef. Indian cuisine is healthy, tasty, low in calories and surprisingly easy to prepare.
In this demonstration two local experts in Indian cuisine will show you how to prepare two bases that can be used as the foundation of many tasty meals, with or without meat. Participants will then enjoy a light lunch using these bases in the Chestermere Whitecappers 50+ Centre and will have the opportunity to take home a sample along with a detailed recipe. All ingredients are easily available locally.
