Indian Cookery Class with Vidya | Vegetarian| London Training Class

Our talented new cohort of Migrateful chefs are wrapping up their initial training and getting ready to hold their first cookery classes to the public.

This training class will be led by Chef Vidya from India at the Migrateful Cookery School in Clerkenwell, London.

Please note, during these training classes, we will be testing the dishes, and how the class runs. Think of it like a technical rehearsal at the theatre. This means it may run for longer than a normal class and involve some stop/starting. Our Chef Development team will also be present to guide and observe, along with volunteers who will help support the chef, and we will ask for your feedback at the end of the class.

A sample menu of the dishes that will be taught includes:

• Semiya Upma (Vermicelli Noodles) | Vegetarian; Gluten, Mustard, Tree Nuts, Peanuts
• Lemon Rice | Vegetarian; Milk, Mustard, Tree Nuts, Peanuts
• Dal Tadka (Lentil Curry) | Vegetarian; Milk, Mustard 
• Choley (Chickpea Curry) | Vegetarian; Milk
• Bhajiya (Vegetable Fritters) | Vegetarian; Gluten, Milk

This menu is vegetarian. Kindly note that we will not be substituting any ingredients to accommodate dietary needs, so please only book into classes that suit your dietary requirements. Please be aware that while all allergens listed above have been identified as being in this menu, traces of all 14 allergens will be present in this training class.

Throughout the class, Chef Vidya will share stories about her food and culture. You’ll work together with other participants to prepare each of the dishes, before sitting down to share a meal together.

A message from our Chef Vidya:

“Namaste! My name is Vidya, I am from India! A self taught Indian Home cook with a lifelong passion for sharing the bold and beautiful flavours of traditional Indian cuisine. Raised in a family where food brought everyone together. I learned to cook by watching and helping my mother prepare everything from everyday rotis to elaborate festival feasts. 

Now based in London, I teach hands-on cooking that makes Indian cooking approachable, fun and deeply authentic. My focus is on vegetarian meals.

The cooking class is more than just a cooking session, it will be a joyful experience filled with personal stories, practical tips and delicious results you can recreate at home.

Over the years I have perfected the art of making authentic, flavourful Indian meals. My approach to cooking is all about balancing spices using fresh ingredients and making traditional recipes.

I can't wait to welcome you into my class where every dish is a story and every bite brings us closer. Let's cook connect and celebrate the spirit of India from my Kitchen to yours.”
