Breech Lane Curry School

What a brilliant teacher Jaya is. The time flew by and we learned so much, it was just a shame to go. I shall be using the "new" skills I have in all my cooking but most definitely will be cooking the dishes we made again and again at home.

We had a great, fun time learning how to cook 3 dishes, 2 styles of Indian breads and dips all within one course. There were 3 of us in our private lesson (which our wives bought us for an Xmas gift). Jaya had put so much thought into our menu, as we were all of a mixed ability in terms of cooking ability. I am from a family that ran 3 Indian restaurants in Surrey, and I certainly learned how to do it. (I was never allowed in the kitchen as was front of house). Definitely would recommend t...
