CONSCIOUS COOKING

The concept of "zero waste" is not new to the Indian kitchen—it's a tradition passed down through generations. Indian home cooks have long been experts at using every part of an ingredient, ensuring that nothing goes to waste while creating delicious, nourishing meals. In this class, I will teach you the art of maximizing every ingredient, showing you how to reduce waste while embracing creativity in the kitchen.

You'll begin by learning how to make fresh paneer (Indian cottage cheese) from scratch. But the process doesn't stop there—I'll demonstrate how the leftover whey, often discarded in other kitchens, can be transformed into flavorful soups or used to enrich dough for breads. We'll also explore the wonders of karela (bitter gourd), learning how not just the flesh but also the skin of this vegetable can be used to create an entirely new, flavorful dish.

In this zero-waste cooking class, you will learn to prepare:

  • Paneer Making

  • Cashew Paneer Curry

  • Karela (Bitter Gourd) and its skin
