Have you ever walked into an Indian market and been wowed by all the spices, lentils, unusual produce and sauces yet overwhelmed and confused by all the choices? We have too which is why we spent some quality time with Ranveer Brar at the Dosa Factory in Central Square, Cambridge this past weekend. Next Thursday, he will be doing some great videos for us on Indian spices, lentils and how to make a delicious Dosa (crispy rice flour crepes filled w/ savory ingredients). In order to prepare, this past Saturday we took a very educational walk with him through the store followed by a taste of his tremendously delicious dosa masala (stuffed with potato, lentils and curry leave spiced onions). We learned so much and are excited to go back next week to get on video for you what he shared with us.

Ranveer is very passionate about Indian cooking and is a wealth of information who is happy to Every Saturday at 11, you can find him giving tours and helping cooks get started by walking them through the aisles and imparting his wisdom on the finer points of husked vs unhusked lentils (hint husked lose their fiber but cook quicker), the purpose of different spices and tips on what to do with ingredients you don’t often find fresh like tamarind. We are so excited to go back next week and shoot Ranveer sharing with you all some of the things he shared with us – and much more.

If there’s anything in particular you would like to know about Indian cooking, please let us know and we will ask the expert. Thanks!
