Booked the class South Indian Breakfast Feast with Chef Kavitha in Brooklyn (Bedford-Stuyvesant)

We had a fantastic time with this experience. Chef Kavitha was able to accommodate us in our tiny Brooklyn kitchen and came with all the supplies she needed. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the cuisine and was able to answer a lot of questions, and we learned a ton. The food was also delicious and it was fun to try to cook our own dosas.

We had a great time cooking with Kavitha. She was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with. Kavitha was impressively organized and most of the ingredients were presliced/chopped so we could spend more time on actually cooking the meal, which was DELICIOUS!

Kavitha’s South Indian Dosa cooking class is FANTASTIC! I booked her for my girlfriend’s bday and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Kavitha was very detailed in her explanations of the recipes, as well as the history behind each dish. She walked us through each item step by step, and the final dishes were so tasty. She is very talented and we recommend you try out her south indian dosa class - you won’t regret it.

Chef Kavitha’s class was nothing short of an absolute dream. She’s an amazing teacher and incredibly personable. This felt like cooking with a close family member. The food itself was nothing like I’ve ever tasted. A myriad of deep and satisfying flavours that were tailored to our tastebuds. *Chef’s Kiss* 10/10 we WILL be booking many classes with her in the future!

Booked the class Vegan and Gluten Free Indian with Chef Mukti in Brooklyn (Borough Park)

I attended Chef Mukti's class with my partner, Andrew, and cooking with her was an incredible experience! It was our first cooking class ever, and Mukti taught us how to make *five* amazing vegan Indian dishes from scratch. Mukti not only walked us through each cooking step, but she also taught us some really helpful tips and tricks about cooking in general, including how to handle cookware properly and how to incorporate different kinds of spices — and the benefits of them as well. To top it all off, the food itself is to-die-for. Mukti's cooking class is definitely worth it and we both highly recommend it to anyone.

It was a wonderful experience working with Chef Mukti. We learned a lot about Indian spices and how to work with them. It was an incredibly valuable and worthwhile experience.

Highly recommend! I scheduled a gluten free and vegan Indian cooking class with Chef Mukti for my girlfriend's birthday. My girlfriend is gluten free and dairy free. Chef Mukti had to reschedule our class for a different day with a different menu that wasn't necessarily gluten or dairy free. Chef Mukti made sure to have options for my girlfriend so that she didn't miss out on anything. The food was unbelievably delicious. Mukti was extremely informative during the entire cooking process. We were with a family of seven that we didn't know. Mukti made the atmosphere comfortable and we had a blast. She also made sure everyone was involved constantly. It was so much fun and the food was so good. We don't live in NYC but if we did I'm sure we'd do another cooking class with the chef. I never leave reviews for anything online but I felt like I needed to for this. Great experience, and after the dinner Mukti sends you an incredibly detailed recipe of everything so you can cook it again.

Chef Mukti ran a wonderful and engaging class which was really effective in giving familiarity with ingredients and fundamental techniques. You will definitely learn by doing and it is hard to imagine a better cooking class experience.

What a great night! My husband gifted me this cooking class for my birthday and what a treat! I didn’t know what to expect going into this class, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The class was personal, comfortable, and fun. I loved the homemade approach and the fact that we were hands on. I learned so many new cooking tips and techniques. The food was amazing. And our teacher was excellent. I will be back for more classes. This is a great gift for someone or something fun to do if you want a change of pace.

Chef Kavitha is the best! She gives an amazing class, teaching not only how to cook food, but the history, culture, science and nutrition behind everything. 100% worth everything

Charles G.

Booked the class Authentic Indian Brunch with Chef Kavitha in Queens (Astoria)

Chef Kavitha was absolutely wonderful. The food was delicious, and the teaching very thorough. Breaking down the spices the way she did means we'll be able to try these dishes ourselves the in future. But most of all, she was just such a lovely person. It was a real joy to have her visit our home for a bit. Highly recommend!

Finally learned how to prepare and make dosa and masala chai! Had a super fun afternoon with Chef Kavitha and am looking forward to taking more classes with her.

Elisabeth H.

Booked the class Authentic Indian Brunch with Chef Kavitha in Brooklyn (Williamsburg)

Chef Kavitha was incredible from our first communication to the actual cooking class! She was super easy to communicate with and provided detail instructions ahead of time. She is extremely (!!) knowledgable about each meal she prepared and talked us through everything without it being too confusing for a novice like myself in the kitchen. She also was extremely personable throughout the entire class, talking to my girlfriend about her past trips to India. While this was no surprise, the food was AMAZING! I HIGHLY recommend Chef Kavitha to anyone looking to learn a few new dishes at home.

Chef Kavitha was a joy to have in our kitchen! She was very accommodating to our personal taste preferences and taught us quite a bit about Indian cuisine. Brunch came together well and every element was packed with flavor. I definitely recommend Kavitha!

We highly recommend this class! Chef Kavitha explained the recipes in an easy-to-follow manner, and demonstrated the best ways to shape and cook the dosa and accompaniments. The food was delicious and we had a great time. Chef Kavitha was very friendly and a joy to cook with too!

Chief Kavitha brought a warm and fun presence to our home as she taught us all about Southeastern Indian cuisine. We’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing cooking experience.

Prateek N.

Booked the class Authentic Indian Brunch with Chef Kavitha

Kavitha is amazing! First and foremost, the food was fantastic and reminded me of what my mum used to cook at home. Kavitha thoroughly walked us through each step and gave us some nice context as to the reasoning behind the flavors, and if that wasn't enough, we also got printouts so we could make the recipes in our own time. Beyond the cooking, she is also such an easy person to get along with, and we had so much fun doing the class! Highly highly recommend.

I have attended a few cooking classes and I must say the this is the best culinary experience thus far; Mukti not only teaches you how to cook Indian foods, but also teaches you what and how to use the tools of the kitchen; she explains the proper cooking tools and methods to use in order to obtain the desired results. Her method of instructing is one where you are made to feel relax and comfortable. I will return to take another class from Mukti. Thank you, Muki!

Muffie M.

Booked the class Authentic Vegetarian Indian with Chef Mukti in Brooklyn (Borough Park)

Chef Mukti was absolutely fabulous. A charming person and an exceptional cook. Her instructions and demonstrations were clear and very interesting. I learned a lot about the techniques of cooking Indian food. Lots of information and great cooking tips. We all got to both cook and watch (and, of course, eat the exceptionally delicious food we had prepared). We learned how to make about seven different dishes, including 3 vegetable dishes, chicken, bread, mango lassi...as well as masala, which is the basis for almost all of the dishes. Chef Mukti told us where to buy and how to choose the best ingredients, and provided recipes for everything. It was exactly the learning experience I had hoped for...and above all, it was really fun! Kudos and thanks to Chef Mukti!!!

Mukti's cooking class was a wonderful experience and worth every penny! I was looking for a fun and memorable way to surprise my friend (who LOVES Indian food, and food in general) for her birthday and she and her husband and I had an amazing afternoon, learning far more than we anticipated. The skills Mukti teaches are not only relevant to the recipes she is teaching but will influence how you cook everything for the rest of your life. I was so impressed, she was so kind and welcoming and patient, and we had a bonding experience that we will keep in our hearts forever. I can also honestly say, Mukti has ruined any chance that I will ever crave store-bought frozen Indian again. The meal we made and shared at the end of class was one of the best I've ever eaten - the spices! I can't wait to share my new cooking skills with my friends and family. Thank you, Mukti!

Absolutely a great and wonderful experience! We did the vegan Indian cooking class and learned so much about cooking, including the basics. The food was amazing - and we were the ones who made it! I highly recommend this for anyone looking to learn more about Indian cooking.

Chef Mukti's class was wonderful! Mukti is so knowledgeable about all elements of cooking, and we really felt like we left her home with everything we need to vastly improve our home cooking! We are so looking forward to recreating her delicious recipes! Thank you Mukti!

Mukti was an incredible host who welcomed my boyfriend, myself, and another couple into her home for an amazing three hour experience. She greeted us, told us about her history and how she became a cooking instructor, and then brought us into the kitchen to begin the experience. We booked the vegan and gluten free class, and learned how to make pakora, coriander chutney, Aloo gobi matar rasha, chana masala, vegetable pulao, and eggplant masala. Mukti was patient, met us at our level, gave us clear and direct instructions, and recipes to take home with us! We could not have asked for a better evening.

My girlfriend and I attended cooking class with Chef Mukti and we had a great experience. We cook quite a bit of food, but we learned a lot about the fundamentals of cooking Indian cuisine from her. She taught us about the essential spices, how to prepare them for cooking and how to integrate in to each recipe we made during the class. I would strongly recommend taking this class and any of the classes she offers.

Katie U.

Booked the class Classic Indian Using Modern Methods with Chef Mukti in Brooklyn (Borough Park)

Chef Mukti and this class are excellent. Her knowledge, warmth and enthusiasm are clear from start to finish. She created a great atmosphere in the group. Every dish was clearly explained, with lots of chances to smell, taste, and try the steps. There are tips that will change the way I cook starting today. The food was delicious - with fresh spices and layers of flavor. And the variety of dishes we made from start to finish was amazing - saag paneer, pilaf, aloo gobi, chicken tikka masala, onion pakora with chutney. Highly recommended.

Mukti's kitchen was the perfect setting for learning how to cook Indian dishes. She considers every little detail, starting with how to source and prepare your spices all the way to scraping the flavor off the pan to include in your dish. Highly recommend!

Our class with Chef Mukti was an amazing experience. My girlfriend and I attended the class to celebrate our two year anniversary and it was a perfect way to celebrate. The food was way better than going to a fancy restaurant and we were able to add more recipes to our weekly routine. In fact we made two of the dishes the next day!

Chef Mukti creates delicious and visually stunning dishes! With her cooking, Chef Mukti strives to introduce you to excellent Indian cuisine. She is very passionate about teaching -- I especially enjoyed learning her special samosa-creating technique.

Mark J.

Booked the class Spicy Lamb Curry: Intro to Indian Cooking with Chef Anup

I really enjoyed the time spent with Chef Anup. His clear descriptions of technique were very thorough and answered any questions I had. In particular, I had a question of the lamb shank. Where to procure them and how to cook them. He explained that you can braise them long and slow for hours, but also, to save time, but not as a short cut, can get the exact same result cooking them in a pressure cooker for 25 minutes. It was as if he pulled the curtain back and exposed me to some true tricks of the trade, as well as time management. Which who hasn't ever said, There's just not enough time. Now, no excuses. You really won't believe the combination of flavors from this menu that you will achieve in such a short time and effort.
