Wholesome Tadka

Wholesome Tadka is Sanjay's private Indian cooking class business. Sanjay was born and raised in India. He teaches in his home kitchen in Brooklyn or in your own kitchen anywhere in NYC, and in parts of New York State, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. He left a twenty-year career in management consulting to teach cooking full time. His repertoire covers more than 300 dishes from 13 regional cuisines, from vegetarian Gujarati to Goan and Kashmiri.

You can't book a single seat here. Every class is private. The Private Intensive class is for 1 to 8 people and runs about 3.5 to 5.5 hours. You cook 4 to 7 dishes plus sides, flatbreads or rice. The focus is on the building blocks: spices, technique, and balancing health with taste. You plan the menu with Sanjay, and it can be vegetarian, vegan, kosher, diabetic-friendly or allergen-free.
