Now You're Cooking Indian-Chinese Fusion! - March 7, 2023

Note: change of date.

Did you know that India has a Chinese community that migrated there generations ago? They have sought to preserve their ethnicity and culture, and locals have embraced the fusion of some of their cooking styles to produce dishes popular throughout India! One of these is "Chicken Manchurian," which is believed to have been created by a third generation Indo-Chinese chef.

At this event, Neeya will show us how to make Chicken Manchurian, fried rice, pakoras, coconut green beans, and coconut sago pudding. Of course, a delicious meal will follow!

Now You're Cooking Indian Under Pressure! - December 3, 2013

CCR's "Now You're Cooking" series is back!

For the first session this CCR year, we are going to combine two popular "Now Your Cooking" themes from the past: Indian and pressure cooking!

Indian food, while delicious, can often be a long cooking process involving several pots. In this session we'll show you how to make a Chicken Biryani in just one pot -- the pressure cooker. This is a huge time and energy saver, plus the flavours really soak in and make it all the more delicious!

Join us for "Now You're Cooking Indian under pressure!" 

When: Tuesday, December 3, 2013

Time: 7 p.m.

Where: Metro stop Conca D'Oro area (exact address sent to confirmed participants)

Cost: CCR members €10, guests €20
