Summer Specials - Kebabs and Coolers


Summer is here in shanghai ! Summer is the season for barbecues, also time to eat and drink foods that cool the system. Indian cooking has plenty of foods that have this "cooling effect"

I thought it would be a nice idea to have cooking classes with summer specials, like kebabs of various kinds, and foods that keep us cool !


So next class will be held on BOTH Saturday, AND Sunday, that is the 12th and 13th of May, at 2.30 p.m. I chose to have the class on both days since some people find it convenient on Saturdays and some on Sundays.

We will be cooking :

Chicken tikka Kebab - chicken pieces marinated in spices and grilled - ofcourse, you can do it in your oven, or if you do not have oven, even on the stove top !


Badam Kheer - a drink made of almonds and milk.I know, most are going to say - almonds ? but thats lots of calories ! But do you know the health benefits of Almonds ?

Almonds are high in monounsaturated fats, the same type of health-promoting fats as are found in olive oil, which have been associated with reduced risk of heart disease.

Almonds are a very good source of vitamin E and manganese. Almonds are a good source of magnesium, copper, riboflavin (vitamin B2), and phosphorus. Nutritionists recommend that we eat a handful of them every day !
