Angeethi spices up Sundays

Aspiring sous-chefs can now put their seasoning skills to the test after the Gateshead Indian family kitchen, Angeethi cooked up its first ‘Spice Sunday’ masterclass at the weekend.

Angeethi launched its one-to-one cookery classes, which offer people, who are passionate about Indian cuisine the chance to taste, touch, smell and learn the secrets of traditional Indian cooking at its restaurant located in the heart of Low Fell.

During the three-hour introduction to Indian cooking student sous-chefs start with a lesson on using spices and herbs before receiving hands-on training from Angeethi’s head chef to prepare a starter, curry and rice/bread.

After feeling the heat in the kitchen, session members can then relax in the restaurant’s authentic Indian surroundings with a glass of wine whilst enjoying their aromatic creations before receiving a complimentary spice container to take away.
