Reviews for Indian Cooking Classes in NYC

Indian Cooking Classes in NYC are rated 4.7 stars based on 415 verified reviews from actual CourseHorse.com purchasers.

  • We loved our afternoon cooking with Mukti - she exudes warmth and passion for both cooking amazingly flavorful Indian food and sharing her vast knowlege and experience. She was great involving the 9 students in our class in joining in the prep work, offering tastes along the way. She shared some of her personal story and many cooking tips with a freshness that felt intimate, even though she has probably shared the same info thousands of times. Everyone uniformly applauded the saag paneer as the best anyone had ever had - owing to the use of fresh whole spices that she toasts and grinds and combines with her homemade masala. The other dishes were wonderful as well. Highly recommend this experience!!!
  • My girlfriend and I had a great experience in this course. Mukti was very informative and engaging throughout the course. She also provided clear instructions along the way. The final result was a fun and informative course that culminated with some delicious food. I would highly recommend the course.
  • Such a fun class! Mukti was so kind and knowledgable, and we had a great time. The food was delicious, and fully vegan!
  • Very lovely intimate setting, great food - would be nice for more participation but overall great date night
  • John, our instructor took us seamlessly through the steps of cooking a multi-course Indian meal. Everything was organized so that we could coordinate the preparation of multiple dishes in sequence and everyone got to participate in the process of making the dishes. We made bread and paneer from scratch, as well as a three complete dishes, chutney and rice. The meal was fun to make and delicious! I have made it many time since. This was one of the best classes I have ever taken.
  • A great day!!! Amazing food and learned a lot!
  • Fantastic! We learned so much from Abigail and the meal was amazing.
  • An excellent class. I feel like I gained confidence in the kitchen with certain techniques, learned new techniques and got to eat some delicious food at the end of it all. Strongly recommend!
  • This class was wonderful! Mukti was a most gracious host. Her teaching style is clear, warm, and approachable. I can't wait to put what I've learned into practice.
  • - Great experience - Delicious food - Superb host We lovd it!
  • We loved it!
  • Incredible! Mukti is an amazing and very knowledgeable chef! As a former scientist, she always answers the “why” something works. I learned new techniques, information about fresh spices and we made 6 fragrant and delicious dishes!
  • Jennifer, the instructor, was so good in every way! Warm and friendly, super knowledgeable and very clear and articulate talking to the class. Annie the assistant was great, too! Very into it.

  • A wonderful class where I learned so much about cooking Indian food and cooking in general! I highly recommend it! Mukti is a gifted teacher and runs the class in a way that each cook gets special attention. I look forward to cooking Mukti’s special recipies at home! Sitting down to eat the meal at the end was such a treat! I will definitely take more classes from Mukti in the future. Madeleine (please use first name only)
  • The teacher and the class were great! The only suggestion was for the teacher to remind everyone to use SALT in their dishes. We forgot so basically the food was tasteless. Also if the class was earlier it would’ve been a plus too. Say 6:00 pm.
  • This was a great class conducted in the backyard due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It is a must if you like Indian foods and want to learn to prepare at home. I had a wonderful time and it was so much fun. Learned some great techniques for mixing and using spices. The food was so delicious and Mukti was very engaging, explained all clearly making the food prep feel so simple. Greatest of all, the class was hands-on. Everyone had an opportunity to prepare, chop, mix ingredients and cook the food. Will definitely take another class at Mukti's. Awesome!
  • Very informative, well paced, knowledgeable chef. Particularly liked the eating of the biryani at the end using proper Indian technique.
  • Great course on making samosas from scratch - the instructor was very informative and easy to follow along with. I would recommend prepping ingredients prior to class.
  • I really liked the class. The length was perfect and the recipe definitely a keeper! The teacher was great - she shared the cultural significance and regional differences of the dish and was very patient in answering our questions!
  • I really enjoyed this class. We learned comfort food, Potato Gravy and Missi Roti. The instructor, Sheela Vijay is very knowledgeable with the various regions of East Indian cooking. She provides a background of the food, history, spices. and utensils used in Indian cooking. It is very helpful for those with absolute no knowledge or those who have a knowledge of how Indian foods are prepared. Indian food sounds and looks complicated to make but Ms. Vijay will guide you through it and show how simple Indian cuisine is. She really wants you to learn and I learned a lot. She is patient and explains clearly. She even guides you if you are interested in substituting ingredients. I highly recommend taking this class and any class offered by this instructor.
  • Sheela was a fantastic cooking teacher! Her love of Indian recipes is very evident in the way she teaches. It was great to hear factoids about Indian cooking, and I loved that the recipe was on the healthier side (vegetarian and whole wheat flour). I look forward to taking more classes with her in the future.

  • Amazing experience!!!
  • Mukti was full of knowledge and extremely helpful!
  • Abigail was a wonderful teacher and guide during this cooking class. She had lots of knowledge about Indian cooking, great tips for ways to get heightened flavors in dishes and even helped with my knife skills. Anyone who is thinking of taking one of her courses will not be disappointed. A definite plus was the intimate atmosphere and warmth of Matt and Abigail.
  • This class is held at Mukti's home, in her kitchen, which adds a more personal feel to the class. There was a total of 5 of us, which was the perfect amount of students since it's not a big area. We each did some hands on cooking, chopping, or preparing of the food. She is very knowledgeable about Indian cooking and the food came out delicious. I would definitely recommend her class.
  • Sorry for posting this almost 2 years after I went to the class with Mukti. It was totally awesome! My wife and I love her so much. She was so patient and knowledgeable that it made the class totally worth it. And then the food was great! Love her, Love the food, definitely recommend this course to everyone!
  • The best. I love every single moment.
  • I really enjoyed the experience! Mukti taught us a lot and was very receptive to all our questions. We got to smell, taste, and participate in every dish. It was a relaxed environment in which the three students in the class could chat while learning and cooking. Definitely recommend!
  • The instructor was wonderful...friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. As always, the end product was delicious
  • Unbelievable class! We learned so much and Mukti was so sweet and gracious!
  • Mukti is a thoughtful, talented cook and teacher!
  • I really like the class. It was worth the time and money.

  • Organized, informative, fun! Best part was taking what we learned to make a wonderful group meal. Erica, the instructor, was great.
  • Wonderful class. The food was delicious, and Nawida made it easy to recreate it at home.
  • Our teacher/chef was personable, thorough & terrific.
  • Mukti's class is the real deal! It has brought me so much joy this past week cooking with and for my family and friends, and I think all of the recipes will be weekly staples (at least until I can take another class listed on her website!) I’m so grateful to know I can prepare healthy organic and incredible tasting Indian meals at home with time and patience. I learned so much in the kitchen and was happy I could take a “treasure chest” of spices home for a reasonable additional fee. Check out her website and look out for the cookbook soon!
  • Mukti’s class was fabulous! I’ve always wanted to be able to cook vegetarian Indian food ( having been a vegetarian forever) but could never really get the spices right. I learned so much from Mukti’s class about using whole spices that I’m excited to try this on my own. And her cooking was better than any restaurant! Thank you!!
  • Loved it! Simple, fast fun and tasty!
  • Really. Tasty recipes and the group and teacher were all pleasant Thanks

Indian cooking is a diverse and flavorful type of cooking that originates in the country of India. Each region of India has its own unique type of cuisine, for instance the north is known for its curries. One defining characteristic of Indian cooking is the use of unique spices like turmeric and ginger, which have strong flavors and also a number of health benefits. Indian cooking is also steeped in tradition and culture. Cooking techniques are often passed down through generations, and many recipes are associated with specific festivals or religious ceremonies. 

Why You Should Learn Indian Cooking in NYC

There are many different reasons why you might want to learn Indian cooking. One is that you’ll discover interesting new flavors and cooking techniques. You can use your new skills to broaden your cooking repertoire, experimenting with different dishes, or applying your knowledge to other types of cuisines. Indian cooking is also a great thing to learn if you are budget-conscious. Many Indian recipes contain relatively inexpensive ingredients like lentils and vegetables. Another reason to learn Indian cooking is that you’re likely to also gain some insight into the country’s culture and traditions, since India’s cooking is intimately tied to its culture.

In-Person Indian Cooking Classes & Schools in NYC

New York City is famous for its food, and in addition to many different restaurants, you’ll also find a wide variety of different cooking schools, including many options for in-person Indian cooking classes.

Mukti’s Kitchen is located in Brooklyn, which is about five miles outside of New York City. It was founded by Mukti Banerjee, who wanted to share the variety and uniqueness of her Indian cooking with other people. This school has a number of fun, interactive classes where students can learn to make their own healthy Indian food. In Indian Bread, students can learn to make a variety of different Indian breads, and also learn about Indian spices. They make: roti/chapatti, naan, aloo paratha, poori, and chana masala. This class costs $135, and is three hours long. 

Mukti’s Kitchen also offers a variety of other Indian cooking classes. For instance, in Delicious Vegan, Gluten-free, Indian Dishes, students make five vegetarian dishes: baigan bharta, chana masala, pakora, okra bhaji, and vegetable pulao. They also learn how to use Indian spices. This class is $135. Another option is Pakora, Paratha, Saag Paneer, and Butter Chicken, which also costs $135. Students learn the fundamentals of Indian cooking, and make pakora-onion fritters, saag paneer, aloo gobi and matar, chicken makhni, and aloo paratha. All students receive an electronic version of the recipes that they learn in class.

Home Cooking New York also teaches Indian cooking classes. This school is located in Lower Manhattan. It was founded in 2002 by Jennifer Clair, a former food editor at Martha Stewart Living, who has written cookbooks, recipes, and food editorials.

It is located in Brooklyn, New York. Indian Cooking w/ Yamini costs $150 and runs for two and a half hours.

Virtual Indian Cooking Classes & Schools

Thirty years ago, if you wanted to take a cooking class, you’d have to drive to the cooking school, and meet with the instructor and other students in a kitchen or classroom. This would mean you could only attend a school close to your home, and you’d have to spend time and money commuting there. Now, you have another option. If you want to learn to cook, you can choose a virtual class, where you log in online, and participate in a virtual cooking session through your computer screen. This option gives you a lot more flexibility, and has become extremely popular in recent years. You can learn a wide array of different topics online, and will find many different online Indian cooking classes. Just be aware that with an online class, you’ll probably have to supply your own ingredients and cooking equipment, unlike with an in-person class, where these are often provided.

Indian Cooking Online w/ Yamini is an online class offered by the League of Kitchens, which is made up of a group of women from around the world. These women teach their family recipes, and share their personal stories. Students who take this class learn three of Yamini’s family recipes: homemade flatbreads stuffed with spiced potatoes and onions, refreshing cucumber, and yogurt raita. They also share questions, conversation, and stories, and finish with a virtual dinner party. The class is two and a half hours long, and costs $50. There is an average of 13 students per class. The League of Kitchens has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, The Splendid Table, and Time Out New York.

EZ Compliments is a cooking school that runs a variety of different online cooking workshops. It is based in Andover, Massachusetts. Chef Shilpi runs the classes. She was born and raised in India, and works to share her passion for Indian cooking, and help more people enjoy Indian food. In the Tuesday Workshop Series, students cook a different complete meal in each session. Some menu options include chicken rogan josh and cumin rice, goan fish curry and peas pulao, and keema matar and plain paratha. Students can sign up for an entire four-week series, or just one class at a time. Each dish can be personalized according to dietary requirements, including vegetarian or gluten-free needs. It costs $50 to take one class. Classes run for an hour and a half on Tuesday evenings, and the average class size is about 12. There is also a Thursday Workshop Series, which is on Thursday evenings.

You can also learn Indian cooking through Mukti’s Kitchen, which is a cooking school based in Brooklyn, New York, but offers online classes as well. School founder Mukti Banerjee opened her school so that she could share the variety and uniqueness of her Indian cooking with others. She also strives to empower people to cook their own food and make healthy choices when they do so. In Authentic Indian Vegetarian, she teaches students to make eggplant masala, saag paneer, and vegetable pulao/pilaf. This class costs $75 and meets over Zoom.

You can also learn Chai Making virtually, through New York City-based Food Craft. Chai is a beverage that originated in India, and contains black tea, spices, sugar, and milk. It is believed to have a number of health benefits. In this class, you’ll learn the history of chai, some of its health benefits, and will make authentic masala chai tea. Prior to the start of the class, each participant gets a kit that contains tea, sugar, milk, and a variety of different spices.
