Got questions about our
Indian cooking classes?

EzCompliments offers virtual as well as in-person Indian cooking class where small groups of 6 to 8 participants cook together, guided live by an expert instructor. — it's a real, hands-on experience, not a passive demo. Classes are intimate by design so every participant can get personal attention and ask questions throughout.

Every class is fully hands-on. You chop, spice, sauté, and plate alongside the instructor in real time — In the onlie class, you do this from your own kitchen. In the in-person class, the participants work in teams to prepare the dishes. You're not watching someone else cook; you're the one doing the cooking, with expert guidance every step of the way.

Classes have a maximum of 8 participants. Keeping the group small is intentional — it means the instructor can see what each person is doing, give real feedback, and answer questions without anyone getting lost in the crowd.

Online Classes typically run 1.5 to 2 hours depending on the recipes covered. This includes a brief introduction, the full guided cooking session, and time at the end for questions, plating tips, and sharing what you made. Onsite, in-person classes in Andover and greater Boston area, run for 3-4 hours as we cover 4 dishes and this includes a sit-down meal with the participants.

Each class is built around a complete Indian meal — think curries, fragrant rice dishes, dals, chutneys, and breads like roti or paratha. Themes vary by session, so you can take multiple classes and build a full repertoire of authentic Indian cooking skills over time.

Don't worry — small class sizes mean the instructor notices and can pause to help. You also receive a full recipe card before class so you can follow along independently if needed. The goal is for everyone to finish with a dish they're proud of.

No experience is needed. Classes are welcoming to complete beginners and experienced home cooks alike. The instructor explains every spice, technique, and step — so even if you've never cooked Indian food before, you'll finish class knowing exactly what you made and why.

Many EzCompliments recipes can be adapted for vegan or gluten-free diets. When booking, note any restrictions or allergies. Private class bookings can be fully tailored around specific dietary requirements so everyone at the table is included.
