Cookery Experiences

Do you love Indian food and want to learn more about the spices and techniques? Or do you simply lack the confidence to cook for the family? Mama Dor offers a range of cookery experiences, to suit your needs. You can choose from one to one cookery lessons through to social curry supper clubs.

Home Based Cookery Lessons

Cookery lessons with Giz are an excellent way to learn how to cook authentic Indian food, in a simple & fun way

Make the perfect Indian meal, completely tailored to suit the needs of you and your family or friends. You decide what you’d like to cook and have control over the menu, with guidance from Giz.

You’d be amazed at what you can cook in a two hour cookery lesson!

Cookery lessons work great on a one to one basis, but are also great fun with friends & family. They are undertaken at your house so it’s an environment that you are happy and comfortable in.

As above, you decide on the menu, and Giz provides the spice blends (up to three blends are included in your lesson) plus a shopping list of ingredients you’ll need on the day.

On the day, Giz will teach you to cook all the dishes per your menu, in a relaxed and informal way. She’ll guide you on Indian techniques, tips & hints to recreate the dishes on your own as well as giving you lots of insight on the spices! Once the food is cooked, Giz will leave you to enjoy your delicious meal with your friends & family

It’s £150 for a two hour lesson (regardless of how many people are cooking), which includes £25 worth of spice blends.

Samosa Making Masterclass

Samosas are a staple in every Indian household; the perfect snack or starter that’s really simple to cook once prepped. Samosa making is a skill that’s taught from a young age in Indian families, and is so rewarding and quick, once the skill has been mastered.

Mama Dor’s Samosa Making Masterclasses will teach attendees how to fold the perfect traditional samosa using special samosa pastry. Attendees will learn to make sweet & savoury samosas that can be enjoyed on the night, plus some extras including my famous green chutney!

These are great fun to do with friends (minimum of four people, with a maximum of seven), and are undertaken at your house so it’s an environment that you are happy and comfortable in.

Mama Dor will provide the spice blend to make the savoury samosas plus a shopping list of ingredients you’ll need on the day. Each attendee will also take away a jar & recipe card for the samosas to recreate the dishes at home.

It’s £30 per head, which includes the spice blends. Typically, each samosa making masterclass will last 2 hours.

Chapati Making Masterclass

There’s nothing quite like a freshly made chapati; not only are they incredibly healthy, they are also simple to make. Once you’ve mastered the skill of making the dough and rolling the perfect chapati!

Mama Dor’s Chapati Making Masterclasses will teach attendees how to make the dough for chapatis, how to roll them and how to cook them on a traditional chapati (tawa) pan. During the masterclass, attendees will also learn to make one dish so that there is a delicious fresh curry available to dip your chapatis in!

These are great fun to do with friends (minimum of four people, with a maximum of six), and are undertaken at your house so it’s an environment that you are happy and comfortable in.

Mama Dor will provide the ingredients and equipment to cook the chapatis on the day, plus one spice blend for the curry to be cooked. Each attendee will also take away a recipe card plus a bag of chapati flour to recreate the chapatis at home.

It’s £30 per head, which includes the chapati flour. Typically, each chapati making masterclass will last 1 to 1.5 hours.
