Workshops at SAADI

We love to teach and we love to eat, so we’ve combined our loves to bring you workshops at SAADI.

Our winter, hands-on chicken biryani workshops have concluded for the season.

We offered 10 spaces, and we taught each participant how to:

  • make the chicken marinade

  • marinate the chicken

  • deeply caramelise your onions to fragrance your biryani

  • make the biryani masala

  • layer your biryani

  • show you the best way to cook biryani

Lunch was served after the workshop, which included snacks, chicken biryani and raita.

At the end of each session, you took home the cooked biryani (yes, more!) you made in the workshop, a recipe booklet (with bonus recipes), and a packet of our biryani masala to get started.

For private workshops, please enquire here.

In summer, we will bring back our pickles and preserves workshop, which will give you hands-on experience in Indian fermentation. Each class involves active preparation, lunch, your creation to take home and a recipe booklet.
