Merry Masala Christmas… a Sweet Twist on Tradition!
Add a Pinch of the Exotic to your Treats and Sweets this Holiday Season!
The Holiday season is upon us quicker than you can say “Snow!?” Apart from gift getting, there are also life’s little indulgences to take care of – and for many of us, this includes taking part in a cookie exchange. This year, why not wow your friends by jazzing up those traditional cookies with a hint of the exotic. Join two of Canada’s foremost Indian food experts, Arvinda and Preena Chauhan, and take a sensory journey to the delicious world of Indian-inflected Holiday-worthy treats – and make it a celebratory occasion while you’re at it.
Arvinda and Preena’s Merry Masala Cookie Exchange is a hands-on class where a fabulous selection of Holiday goodies will be made and shared. You bake, eat and be merry while Nella Cucina takes care of the prep and clean up- it’s the gift that keeps on giving!
Guests are invited to start the night off with a tantalizing cup of Masala Chai Tea or a heady sip of Garam Masala Hot Chocolate and a few savoury Indian hors d’oeuvres before picking a station to start crafting picture-perfect holiday goodies (listed below).
Exotic Holiday Treat Menu:
• Crunchy Pistachio Cranberry Chocolate Chai Biscotti (the ideal dipping cookie served with your favourite hot beverage OR a warming cup of Masala Chai tea)
• Holiday Chai Spice Ladoos (Snowballs) – healthy, nutrient-packed and delicious!
• Festive Garam Masala Gingerbread Squares
• Citrus Chai Spice Sugar Cookies
• Mango Curry Snow Crescents
Each participant will walk away with a few dozen cookies handily boxed for you to freeze or enjoy right away, a recipe booklet containing the evening’s offerings (including the hot beverages) and one tin of either Arvinda’s Artisinal Spice Garam Masala or Chai.
Arvinda’s Artisinal Spices are premium quality products made without any preservatives or fillers. As you’ve seen by the above-noted menu list, the use of Arvinda’s Garam Masala, Chai and Curry spice blends are infinitely versatile and can be used in much more than traditional Indian dishes.
‘Tis the season to think outside of the traditional Indian spice box and give your dessert table a spicy makeover- you’ll be happy you did!
Class includes pre-class savoury snacks, beverages, recipe booklet, take home cookies, your gift of an Arvinda’s Artisanal Spice tin and a no-fuss holiday season!
