A brewery or my kitchen or my bicycle.

Awesome question! I made friends with an Indian who was an O.K. cook, then checked out a bunch of cookbooks... The whole arsenal of spices (black onion seeds? seriously?) is another potential impediment. Man, you can make some good Indian (cheap, once ya got the arsenal) at home, though...

I've gone to a few classes at Sur La Table at Easton and had a lot of fun.
Incidentally, the 30th of this month is "Indian Restaurant Favorites". I might actually sign up for this class myself.

Thanks for the tip, I did not know about this place, the class looks like it might be worth taking, I may be out of town on that date, so I am quite interested to hear about any other alternatives.

What kind of Indian food are you most into? Specifically, south or north? North is what I've seen in most of the restaurants here. It tends toward the creamy side. It can have plenty of heat, but it is often also has elements of sweetness (i.e. coconut, cream). South is much more about savoriness. Salt & heat, specifically, and it tends to be cooked drier, much less saucy.

You can always try asking Ajay at Taj Mahal. He's very friendly and out-going, and loves to talk about what they do.

i think it's really great that sur la table is offering indian cooking classes, but it's pretty appalling to be charging $69 for a cuisine that is consumed by some people that don't even make $69 in a week...for $69 you can go to patel brothers and buy months worth of spices, lentils, and other indian groceries.
when i go to the temple next, i will find out if any of the elders will be willing to have a cooking class. that may be more authentic (never really heard of anyone eating red pepper chutney at homes) and more friendly for your wallet...
