The India Club

Welcome to our family style cookery class! This small-scale class for 12 participants is not socially distanced. For those seeking a Covid-secure cookery class, please see our events at our Peckham venue and online. This cookery class will be taught by the wonderful Sri Lankan chef Jahan at the India Club at the Strand in London. The<a href="https://www.theindiaclub.co.uk/our-story" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> India Club</a> was originally set up by the India League, to further Indo-British friendship in the post-independence era, and it quickly became a base for groups serving the Asian community. It was recognised as a welcoming space for cultural connection, where visitors could seek advice, connect culturally and speak their native language. Nowadays it includes a lovely restaurant and they have been kind enough to open up their space to Migrateful!This is a family style cookery class where we will collectively prepare 4 dishes. Chef Jahan will divide the class into groups with each one responsible for creating 1 of the dishes. You are also free to move around during the class to learn about the other dishes. Chef Jahan will recap each of the dishes throughout the evening and at the end of the class so that everyone can learn about all of the dishes. You will also be emailed the recipes after the class.A sample menu of the dishes that will be taught include:<ul><li>Vada and Mint Chutney</li><li>Aubergine Mojo</li><li>Cashew and Pea Curry</li><li>Homemade Sri Lankan Curry Powder</li><li>Soya Devil</li></ul>This menu is Vegan. Allergens include: alliums, gluten and sesame seeds. Please let us know if you have any specific dietary requirements!We will also be selling our beautiful Migrateful aprons! You can purchase them when booking your ticket (pick it up at the event) or before the cookery class starts at the venue. A message from our Chef Jahan: “Hi! I’m Jahan. I am from the middle of Sri Lanka from a city called Kurunegala. We have three ethnicities in my city: Tamil, Sinhalese and Muslim. We all live together in this city and share 90% of the same food. My dad owned a restaurant in my city. So from the age of 10, I cooked together with my family for the guests. Everything was homemade. We never bought curry powder from the shop. We made it from scratch. It was a restaurant for locals. My father was a very good cook. From a very young age I watched my father cooking and that’s how I learnt. I love cooking Sri Lankan food. Sri Lankan cuisine has been shaped by many historical and cultural factors. Contact with foreign traders who brought new food items, cultural influences from neighbouring countries as well as the local traditions of the country’s ethnic groups have all helped shape Sri Lankan cuisine. Influences from Indian (particularly South Indian), Indonesian and Dutch cuisines are particularly evident.”Payments made through Paypal can take up to 48 hours to have the order confirmed.
