Un-Curry!!!

Cooking together is an activity Jay and I enjoy immensely. Many Friday nights you can find us in the kitchen, listening to blues, sipping wine, chopping, sauteing, steeping, spicing, and enjoying one another's company. We cook many different types of cuisine - southern, Thai, and one of our favorites - Indian. We recently had the opportunity to take a one-day course in Indian cooking with chef Kaumudi Marathe of Un-Curry. We took a class called Indian Tea Party, where we learned about spices, tea, coffee, and how to make Samosas, Chup-chup cake, and cilantro chutney. We had a wonderful three hours, and learned a lot. I have enjoyed making my own chai at home, and we've made our own chutneys. Delicious! Samosas are much easier than I thought, and so much more delicious when you make them in your favorite way. We didn't get to take many pictures, we were pretty busy cooking and taking notes. But Jay did snap a few with his droid. Below are our samosas and cilantro chutney.

Our spicy, yummy cilantro chutney.

We had a great time, and hopefully will get a chance to take more cooking classes together in the future.
