Private Chef - Modern Indian Table Featuring Aloo Gobi

We learned many things from chana masala to frying bhatura to making both chutneys. We made shahi paneer of which the base can be splendidly used for malai kofta and butter chicken. We also made chaat and pistachio kulfi and vegetable biryani. There are variations for how to make all of these but what I loved was knowing when to add certain spices and what oil to use. Vegetable or mustard. We didn’t have any Tupperware to bring so she kindly gave us takeout boxes to enjoy all the leftovers at home. Very helpful. The only thing I would have added was masala chai but since I’m off caffeine, we enjoyed hot and cold water.

My son and I really enjoyed our class with Chef Meena. We prepared chaat, vegetable biryani, and Chana masala. Chef Meena was very friendly, knowledgeable and organized and provided easy-to-follow instructions. The food was delicious and we had a lot of fun!

It was a wonderful experience learning from Chef Meena. She made it easy to break down and explained some of the techniques very clearly. And the food was delicious! My partner and I enjoyed her calm presence, patience, and her love for cooking. We will definitely be using her recipes in our regular routine and even bought her lovely cookbook. Highly recommend this class!

Chef Meena was an amazing host and teacher! She welcomed us into her home and shared her knowledge, stories and kindness making an incredible learning experience and absolutely delicious food! It was so nice to learn from her, cook with her and sit down and enjoy the meals together. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning in a personable and genuinely authentic way. This is my first time using Cozy Meal and I was overall very impressed. My partner and I spent the drive home thinking about how many people we could recommend Chef Meena to and what other classes we could come back and try with her. 10/10 experience, 5+ stars. Thank you Chef Meena!

Chef Meena was fantastic! We had a great time cooking with and learning from her, and of course thoroughly enjoyed eating afterwards!

Meena planned a wonderful menu starting with Chaat (Indian nachos), Chana Masala, Vegetable Biryani and she pre-made a lovely dessert of Pistachio Kulfi. The food was all fantastic and it seemed like it could be repeated by us on our own. Her kitchen was tidy and she was super organized. We brought home lots of food and would definitely recommend and go back….this time with containers! She also offers a cookbook and a spice container for purchase. Thank you Meena!

We cooked chana masala and veggie biryani. Meena answered all our questions and made the meals seem simple and approachable to make. We learned a ton and the meals were healthy and delicious. We had a great time! Thank you!

My daughter and I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Meena’s Indian cooking class! From start to finish, it was warm, welcoming, and incredibly delicious. We learned how to make Chaat, Chana Masala, and Vegetable Biryani, and every dish turned out amazing. Meena is a fantastic teacher—she explained each step thoroughly and made the whole process feel approachable and fun. What really stood out was her thoughtfulness and flexibility. Since we’re not big fans of cilantro, she kindly prepared two separate versions to accommodate us, which was so appreciated. She also showed us how to prepare a fresh coriander chutney, and generously shared some of her own homemade tamarind chutney which was absolutely delicious. As if that wasn’t enough, we finished with Kulfi, which was the perfect not-too-sweet ending. Everything we made (and tasted!) was incredible. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a hands-on, authentic, and enjoyable cooking experience!

Fantastic experience! Great surprise for your s/o on their birthday or anniversary. Chef Meena COOKS.

I really had a good time at the cooking class. Chef Meena was very responsive on the app about the date-time confirmation about the class. Menu was good. I could refine my cooking skills. Other participants were nice too. I recommend this class for everyone who wants to learn the simple and tasty vegetarian Indian dishes. Thank you Amruta

The experience was great! the Chef was very inviting, everything was easy to follow and tasted amazing! We made and fried pakoras, Aloo gobi and rotis that puffed up in the pan making for a fun experience. My Mom and I both loved it. Would recommend

This class was great and easy to learn. Chef Meena was an excellent host and teacher!

We really loved our class with Chef Meena, we chose the “from Chana Masala to Biryani” option, and everything was so delicious. The Indian nachos (Chaat) were incredibly addictive. We felt like we were invited over as guests. She was so welcoming, and we would highly recommend.

My friends and I had the most wonderful experience at Chef Meena’s home cooking class. From the moment we arrived, she welcomed us with such warmth and hospitality that we immediately felt comfortable. Her patience and kindness made the entire experience enjoyable and relaxed, even when we asked extra questions or needed clarification. The food we cooked was exceptional; not only delicious, but carefully explained step by step. Meena went beyond the planned lesson, offering additional tips, techniques, and background that showed both her expertise and generosity as a teacher. The conversation throughout the class was easy and engaging, and it added so much to the overall experience. We left not only with new skills and recipes, but with a genuine appreciation for her passion and care. I highly recommend her classes to anyone looking for an inspiring and welcoming culinary experience.

We would highly recommend Chef Meena to anyone looking for Indian home cooking classes!
