Indian samosas

At the Center Rog, the aroma of Indian cuisine will fill the air.

You're invited to a cooking workshop where we'll prepare samosas, delicious vegetable-filled pastries that are a staple at any gathering in India. They are also great as snacks on the go, at work, or as an afternoon treat. Aromatic and full of flavor, samosas made their way to India through Central Asia from the Middle East. They are typically filled with a mixture of mashed potatoes, onions, lentils, and peas, seasoned with ginger, chili, and other spices. They can also be made with a meat filling, and sweet samosas are a special treat.

In the workshop, you'll learn how to make samosas from scratch. We'll prepare the dough, shape them into triangles, fill, roll, and fry them until golden brown. With fresh, crispy samosas, everyone is sure to salivate.

Because no Indian gathering is complete without dessert, we'll also prepare sweet gajar halwa. This traditional dessert from northern India is particularly popular in winter when sweet carrots, the main ingredient of this dish, are in season. Indian families like to flavor gajar halwa with powdered cardamom and saffron, and decorate it with toasted Indian nuts. It's a delicious and healthy dessert that delights the taste buds and melts in your mouth.
