Due to the overwhelming success of our first Indian Cooking Class at Farmers Fare we are scheduling another on Saturday April 3rd 2010 from 4 to 6pm.

The class will be taught by cooking instructor and restaurateur Gunjan Gilbert of “Tandoor Downeast”. This workshop will walk you through how to make some common recipes in an Indian “Thali”. In Hindi “Thali”
means plate, usually a large steel or copper plate with flat bread, basmati rice, vegetarian or non-vegetarian curries, and sauces.

The menu for the cooking class will be:
Parathas-Flat breads
Chutney
Daal Sambhar-Vegetarian curry
Lamb curry

 

Gunjan, a native of Pune, India, attended college and graduate school in Michigan before moving to Maine. Here, she met and eventually married Christian Gilbert. In 2005, the Gilberts started on a two-person mission to introduce Indian culture and cuisine to Downeast Maine. Through more than a dozen educational programs, Gunjan has brought the healthy, interesting, and unique aspects of India to Maine and the people from all over the world who vacation along the coast. Gunjan and Christian also provide prepared Indian meals at farmers markets in Blue Hill, Ellsworth, and Winter Harbor.
 

"When I teach people about Indian culture and cuisine," Gunjan says, "people also become more accepting and understanding of all the cultures of this world."
