Bolly ball

Mark and I both love Indian food. New Bombay is one of our go-to places here in Manila. Back in Roppongi, we'd often visit this eat-all-you-can Indian place. Then, near Jenny's office in Tokyo, we'd go to a curry place where it was naan-all-you-can.

So yes, that's how much we're into Indian food. You can say we have a Bollywood palette.

And since we're already into Indian food, we thought, aside from enjoying it, why don't we learn making it?

Which led us to the Authentic Indian Home Cooking Class at Maya Kitchen.

The instructor was Chef Kanchan, a wonderful woman with such a vibrant, positive and happy attitude in life. Aside from teaching us Indian cooking, she also taught us a lot of life lessons that she learned from her kitchen growing up. Then, she was assisted by her daughter, Anjali, which made the entire morning feel like a fun, family affair.

And in less than 4 hours, we learned how to make samosas, Baingan Bharta, and Chicken Marsala! Mark and I did the Marsala, our teammates, Bryan and Kai did the Baingan Bharta, and we all did the Samosas!

We also learned how to make Aloo Paratha, Chapati and Naan, but those were wiped out even before we could take photos of it.

This was definitely a morning well spent, because not only did we learn about Indian cooking, we also learned a lot about life, and made a lot of friends along the way. It was definitely a ball!

We're definitely doing this again soon.
