Lead by Jayashree Iyengar of the Pittsburgh famous Popping Mustard Seed Indian meal kits, participants will learn how to make Masala Chai (Indian spiced tea) and Chickpea Chaat. Masala chai is an everyday beverage in northern India, known for its comforting blend of black tea, milk, and warming spices.
Chaat refers to a variety of crispy, savory Indian snacks made with aromatic spices and tangy sauces—bursting with flavor and texture. It’s a versatile, customizable dish commonly enjoyed as street food across India.
The Chickpea Chaat in this class will be prepared as a nutritious salad—with a satisfying crunch and dressed in classic chaat spices for a refreshingly flavorful dish.

For subsequent sessions we will continue to explore South Indian Cuisine with Jay.
