Chicken Saag

Chicken Saag also called Palak Chicken or Chicken Spinach Curry is a breeze to make in 30 mins. Perfect for a weeknight meal. This hands-on – demo hybrid class starts with aromatics like onion, garlic, ginger, and turmeric.

Then, comes the chicken simmered in a spinach sauce spiced with cinnamon, cardamom, black peppercorns, cloves, and coriander. She’ll teach you how to make a popular side dish using cauliflower and potatoes cooked with ginger, traditional Indian spices, and tomatoes; garnished with cilantro leaves.

The meal will be accompanied by flavorful Basmati Rice Pilaf, naan, and Raita, a cooling yogurt cucumber condiment. Have a glass of wine and learn from Veena as she teaches you how to cook with rich Indian spices and recipes you can replicate at home with skill and ease.

Instructor: Veena Bansal I never ever thought that I would be teaching cooking classes. When I first told my mom she couldn’t stop laughing. By profession I am a fine art artist and over twenty years cooking has become my passion. It gives me the same kind of calmness as when I paint. Very therapeutic! Grinding fresh spices, bringing out different flavors, everything just changed for me. I enjoy entertaining and cooking for my friends and I always offer my help if anyone needs it. This is how my cooking journey started. I’ve taught cooking classes at Franklin Park Conservatory prior to the pandemic and I’m excited to continue teaching others.
