What will we cover?
For this workshop, Shivani is excited to share a piece of her heritage with you all.
“Growing up in India,
Diwali was always a magical time, filled with lights, prayers, and of course, delicious food. One of
my favourites is chaat, a savoury street food that’s perfect for the festive season. I can’t wait to
show you how to make it and share a bit of the joy that comes with celebrating Diwali. Let’s cook,
eat, and celebrate together!”
Sev and Bhel puri are made with crispy fried flour discs (puri) topped with delicious condiments, veggies, herbs, ground spices and more.
