If you love Indian cuisine and are looking for wholesome, plant-based recipes that fit a healthy lifestyle, this class is perfect for you! Step into the kitchen right here in San Jose to explore the rich, vibrant flavors of Southern India. This hands-on workshop is fully vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free by nature, making it an incredibly inclusive and soul-satisfying culinary experience.
Whether you are looking to unite a corporate team, spark romance on a unique date night, host an unforgettable party, or dive into a brand-new culinary skill, this class offers a beautiful blend of interactive cooking and mindful nourishment.
Why This Experience is Perfect For You:
  • Corporate & Team Building: Dosa-making is the ultimate interactive kitchen activity! Rolling up your sleeves to master the perfect ladle swirl on a hot, sizzling pan encourages natural interaction, tons of laughter, and cooperative fun that breaks down workplace barriers.
  • Date Night & Romance: Turn up the heat on your next date night! The tactile art of spreading crispy dosas, the wonderful aroma of roasting spices, and the shared joy of building an exotic feast together make for a playful, memorable, and romantic evening.
  • Parties & Celebrations: Perfect for milestone birthdays, bridal showers, or family reunions. Because South Indian food is cooked and served fresh, the kitchen naturally transforms into a high-energy, social street-food station that your guests will absolutely love.
  • Learn Something New: Ideal for foodies, beginners, and home cooks alike. You will demystify the secrets of working with traditional, fermented rice and lentil batter. You’ll leave with the exact skills needed to create crispy dosas, fluffy appe, and authentic lentil stews completely from scratch at home.
  • Mindfulness & Culinary Wellness: Centered around fermented food and plant-forward ingredients, this menu is fantastic for gut health and physical well-being. The rhythmic sizzle of the batter on the pan and the grinding of fresh herbs create a therapeutic, grounding experience to help your group unplug and practice mindfulness.
What to Expect:
Don't worry if you are completely new to this style of cooking! Your experienced instructor will guide you step-by-step through the process, making sure everyone feels confident and comfortable. You will get hands-on experience pouring, spreading, and flipping the batter, balancing traditional Southern Indian spices, and assembling a vibrant feast. At the end of the workshop, everyone will sit down together to enjoy the robust, multi-course meal they created.
The Menu:
  • The Golden Main: Crispy South Indian Dosas, crafted from a healthy, traditional fermented rice and lentil batter.
  • The Savory Bites: Fluffy and flavorful Appe (savory, spherical rice cakes) that are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
  • The Comforting Stew: Authentic Sambar—a slow-simmered, vegetable-loaded lentil stew bursting with deep, aromatic spices.
  • The Flavor Bombs: Traditional, vibrant house-made Coconut and Tomato Chutneys to bring the perfect balance of freshness and spice to every single bite.
Booking & Dietary Notes: This experience is naturally vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free, easily accommodating all major dietary preferences. We love hosting private corporate teams, wellness retreats, date nights, and private celebrations. This is a BYOB-friendly class, so please feel free to bring your favorite wine or beer to enjoy while you cook, unwind, and dine!

  • 5/5 from Michael Chen, attended Jun 2026: Highly recommend! Very good food, friendly teacher, and nice private experience. It was informal and comfortable at the teacher's home, and you could tell it was nice home cooked food. Excited to try making it at home! I went with my family for my mom's birthday.
  • 5/5 from Mel Simpson, attended May 2025: I took the South Indian Vegetarian cooking class with Parsati on Monday, May 6, 2025, and had a fantastic experience. Parsati is great at explaining the origins and ingredients of each dish in detail, making the class both informative and engaging. The dosa was especially delicious, and I appreciated learning the different styles she demonstrated. She clearly has a passion for teaching and genuinely enjoys sharing her knowledge, including helpful tips for cooking more efficiently. I highly recommend her class to anyone interested in Indian cooking.
  • 5/5 from Audrey Young, attended Feb 2025: My husband and I received this class as a gift and what a wonderful gift it was! Chef Parsati had so much great knowledge and was able to explain things in a way that made sense to us. We walked away learning how to make some new dishes, but also observed several things she did that we could apply to cooking other things at home. It was easy to sign up for the class and we felt so welcomed by Chef Parsati. We definitely recommend!
  • 5/5 from Julie Lam, attended Jun 2024: She is the best chef and the best teacher!. Shes teach how to cook less oil. Simple, everything from the scratch. Love her!
