Anupy Singla breaks down one of the biggest misnomers about Indian cooking in the West - the word curry. In America it has come to mean a spice blend; but, to Indians it refers to the consistency of a dish and essentially means gravy.

We will make a traditional Punjabi Chicken Curry, which is a two-part process including marinating and cooking. We will also discuss an easy homemade achaar, or Indian pickle, and a smooth Mango Lassi drink.
