About Indian Cooking Classes

20 years of experience cooking delicious authentic Indian cuisine. 14+ years of experience teaching cooking classes professionally at Fairfax County Public Schools (Adult Education Department) as well as privately in-home. I love to teach easy, delicious food in a fun hands on method. The recipes include vegan recipes and are cooked using fresh ingredients . The rates are reasonable and I buy all the grocery. The food you cook is taken home by you to enjoy with your family/friends. I am available to provide support after the class is over. The class includes salad, curries, rice dishes and desserts.

I had a great time in this class and have shared this opportunity with others whom I think would find it beneficial.

Manjiri is an exceptional teacher! My cooking skills are at the "beginner" level. I first cooked a four course Indian meal with Manjiri in her kitchen and then was able to cook the same meal on my own because of her excellent instruction. I have since taken additional lessons from her because I found the experience very rewarding.

My two young-adult daughters and I attended a cooking session with Manjiri in her very clean home. We are huge fans of Indian cuisine, and were thrilled to find somebody local, who could teach us how to prepare some of the dishes. Manjiri spent about 2.5 hours teaching us how to make five dishes, including the recipes, how to choose and where to purchase the ingredients, and how to cook the dishes. She then allowed us some private time to enjoy our freshly cooked meal. We got to take home so many leftovers to enjoy later! We highly recommend!

Manjiri was a delight to learn from! She welcomed us into her kitchen and was a very effective teacher! We learned how to make some of our favorite Indian dishes, and we feel confident that we can replicate these in the future. Thank you so much for a wonderful class!

Chef Manjiri gave us a wonderful private class! I gave this class to my husband for his birthday. He says it's the best gift he's ever gotten. We had so much fun, learned so much, and can't wait to try all the recipes at home. We HIGHLY recommend Chef Manjiri's cooking classes!

Chef Manjiri's class was very enjoyable. The class was well organized and she was very accommodating to modifications to the proposed menu. The food we prepared was delicious and had the "Indian Restaurant" taste that I'd not been able to achieve on my own. The recipes and processes were simple enough that I am confident I will soon be recreating these at home.

My boyfriend and I had the BEST time at this cooking class. Manjiri was so kind and professional and made the process both fun and stress free. The dishes were delicious and simple enough to recreate at home. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a cooking course or just a fun activity to do.

Manjiri was an absolute delight to learn from. She was professional, organized, thorough, and cheerful. She went above and beyond when she encouraged my partner's and my curiosity by letting us experiment with ingredients outside of the recipes. The menu items she designed were delicious and simple enough for us to replicate and expand upon on our own. I would highly recommend taking classes with Manjiri; she is a natural teacher.

Excellent class and overview of using simple Indian spices to make food really flavorful and recipes that are easy to make; not so time consuming. Instructor was extremely personable and the class was very relaxing and peaceful! Would definitely do again.
