I’m Chef Param Vala, and I created Indian Cooking for International Students for anyone who’s ever wanted to learn Indian cooking — whether you’re an international student far from home, an Indian student trying to reconnect with familiar flavors, or simply someone curious about this cuisine.

This course is built to give you confidence in the kitchen. We’ll start with the foundations: ingredients, spices, storage, and essential equipment. Then we’ll move into hands-on cooking — knife skills, dals, breads, gravies, and timeless favorites like Butter Chicken, Palak Paneer, Egg Bhurjee, Chole, and Parathas.

Each lesson is short, practical, and designed to fit your busy lifestyle. I’ll teach you not just what to do, but why it works — so you can take these techniques and make them your own.

By the end, you’ll have the skills to cook Indian food anywhere in the world — food that’s bold, comforting, and deeply satisfying. Recipes and resources are included to guide you every step of the way.
