Description
Drinking tea is an important part of the culture, with pots of tea brewing early morning, afternoon and evening in homes. Afternoon tea in southern Asia is a time to gather and share masala and cardamom chai as well as small plates of food. A time to catch up and connect. Join Kausar, Pakistani native, for her take on afternoon tea and learn to use spices to make popular foods shared around the table. Make lentil dumplings and learn to fry them to perfection. Learn to use a flavorful spice blend for Tandoori Chicken, enjoyed as a layered sandwich. Build Channa Aloo Chaat made with different textures and flavors, chutneys with crunchy papdi, a crispy cracker. All of these dishes make afternoon tea a memorable part of the day to share with all.
With dairy, eggs, and poultry.
