About this class
South Indian cooking is about batter. Fermentation, grinding and consistency decide everything. Learn plain, fancy and instant batters, and the sambhar and chutneys that complete the plate.
South Indian cooking is about batter, and this South Indian cooking class in Nadiad teaches batters from scratch. You learn plain dosa batter, fancy dosa batter, neer dosa batter and appam batter, then turn them into Steamed idli, Kancheepuram idli, Stuffed flavoured idli, Coconut appe and Cheese and paneer utappam. Fermentation, grinding and consistency are explained step by step, so results are repeatable at home. Every batter is made from scratch.
Dosa lovers get a wide range: Masala dosa, Mysore masala dosa, Rava masala dosa, Madurai dosa, Spinach paneer dosa, Jini dosa, Cheese corn dosa, Chinese spring dosa and even Chocolate dosa. To complete the plate you make South Indian sambhar, Tomato rasam, Medu wada and Pongal wada, with Coconut, Milagai podi, Tomato and Peanut chutneys, plus Mango pickle, Puli inji and Pineapple pachadi. Each variety is made by you, not just shown.
This dosa making class suits beginners, families who want better breakfast and tiffin ideas, and anyone who has struggled with crisp dosas or soft idlis. Hands-on practice makes batter skills stick. Everything is vegetarian. To check dates, fees and batch size, call or WhatsApp Purna's Kitchen and join a South Indian cooking class near you.
