Indian cooking workshops in your own kitchen. Three hours, a full meal made from scratch, and the recipes to make it again on a Tuesday.
Workshops are taught in English.
All of it is the same food and the same hands. What changes is whether you are cooking, or being cooked for.
Three hours in a kitchen, cooking a full Indian meal from scratch, then sitting down to eat it. You leave knowing how the spices actually work, not just which jar to buy.
€175 for one · +€65 per person
A menu built around your evening, cooked in your kitchen, served course by course. You host. Vidhi cooks, serves, and leaves the kitchen clean.
From €50 per person · €400 minimum
Birthdays, anniversaries, the gathering that outgrew the dining table. Prepared in advance, delivered ready to serve, with the same food that goes out to a private dinner.
From €27.50 per person
Message on WhatsApp with a date, a rough number of people and where you would like to cook.
Butter chicken and dal, or something you have never cooked before. Allergies and vegetarian tables are normal, not a problem.
Spices, equipment and the shopping. You need a hob, a counter and an appetite.
Three hours of proper cooking, then everyone sits down to the meal they just made.
We had the curry studio cater for a big family gathering and wow the food was sooo good!!! Highly recommend!
The curries have a lot of flavor and my favorite is the chicken Biryani, 100% recommended.
Delicious food! Great quality and taste consistently. Great window to Indian cuisine!
I grew up in India, in a kitchen that felt less like a room and more like the centre of the house. My grandmother and my mother made magic out of small things. A handful of cardamom, the right onion, a long afternoon.
None of it was written down. You learned it by standing next to someone. That is still the only way I know how to teach it, which is why the workshops happen in a real kitchen and not a lecture room.
Every recipe carries the heritage of generations. Teaching it is how I keep passing it on.— Vidhi Mehrotra Puri
A weekly menu goes out to the WhatsApp circle every Monday. Order by Thursday, collect on Friday. It is the cheapest way to find out whether you like the cooking.
Mains around €18 · sides €6 to €8
€175 for one person, and €65 for every additional person. Four friends is €370 for the group, six is €500. That is everything: the shopping, spices, equipment, recipe cards and the meal at the end.
English. Workshops are taught in English.
At your home, in your own kitchen, anywhere in Alkmaar, Amsterdam, Haarlem and the wider Randstad. Chef Vidhi does the shopping and brings the equipment.
Yes. A large part of Indian home cooking is vegetarian by default, so a fully vegetarian or vegan menu is not a compromise version. Allergies and dietary needs are handled at menu planning.
Two to three weeks is comfortable for a workshop or a private dinner. Weekends in December fill up earlier. Ask anyway if your date is sooner.
No. The Curry Studio is a home kitchen in Alkmaar, run by Vidhi Mehrotra Puri. There is no dining room. Everything happens at your table, or as a Friday pickup.
Tell me roughly what you are imagining and how many people. I will write back with a menu and a price.
