The Vibrant Vegetarian: Bold Spices & Street Food
Forget Side Dishes. Learn to Make Vegetables the Star of the Show.
“Indian cuisine is arguably the best in the world for vegetarians, yet so many people are stuck making the same basic vegetable curries. It’s time to move beyond the basics and discover how to create incredible textures and ‘umami’ depth using purely plant-based ingredients.
In this class, Anita shares the secrets of Indian Street Food (Chaat) and the hearty, smokey dishes of the rural heartlands. Whether you are a lifelong vegetarian or just looking to add more plant-based meals to your week, this class will revolutionize the way you look at vegetables.”

The Art of the ‘Chaat’: Learn to layer textures—crunchy, soft, tangy, and spicy—to create the ultimate Street-Style Corn Bhel or Aloo Tikki.
