ABOUT THIS CLASS

Bring the flavours of your favourite South Asian restaurant into your own kitchen!

In this live interactive cooking class, you'll cook right alongside Chef Dez as we make Restaurant-Style Butter Chicken with fragrant Coconut Basmati Rice completely from scratch.

We'll start by preparing boneless chicken thighs in a flavour-packed yogurt marinade with fresh garlic, ginger, lemon, garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and Kashmiri chili powder. You'll learn why marinating makes such a difference and how broiling the chicken before adding it to the sauce develops colour and another layer of flavour.

Then we'll build our Butter Chicken sauce from the ground up.

Chef Dez will show you how to gently cook the onions, garlic, and ginger before adding our spices and briefly cooking them to release their incredible aromas and flavours. We'll add tomato paste and crushed tomatoes, simmer everything with our broiled chicken, and finish the sauce with whipping cream and butter for that rich, luxurious texture we associate with great restaurant-style Butter Chicken.

And what's Butter Chicken without the perfect rice?

We'll also make Coconut Basmati Rice, using coconut milk, sweetened shredded coconut, onion, and a bay leaf. You'll learn why we rinse and soak basmati rice, how to properly cook it, and why one of the most important instructions happens after you turn off the heat: Don't peek!

Throughout the class, Chef Dez will explain the techniques behind each step, answer your questions live, and help you understand how spices, heat, timing, and technique work together to create incredible flavour.

This isn't just a demonstration. You're making the entire meal right alongside Chef Dez!

By the end of class, you'll have tender pieces of spiced chicken enveloped in a rich, creamy tomato sauce served alongside fragrant Coconut Basmati Rice.

Add some warm naan bread at the table and you may find yourself wondering why you ever ordered takeout. 👨‍🍳🍛
