Indian Cookery Classes

Najma’s Indian Cookery Classes take place in my home kitchen in Raynes Park where I have been teaching since 2013.

My cooking class are small and hands-on, providing enthusiastic learners the opportunity to learn in a relaxed and friendly environment. In each class you will learn the essential techniques of Indian cooking, including how to blend spices to achieve the authentic flavours true to traditional home recipes.

From prepping ingredients to cooking and sampling the final dishes, you will take away a skill for life plus the dishes you have prepared to share at home with family or friends.

Shermin is a lovely friendly host. She will put you at ease right away. She is a good teacher showing patience and great passion and knowledge of cooking. The Biryani course was enjoyable and interesting and the results were truly delicious.

Great morning cooking with Shermin. I had the class to myself and really enjoyed making a chicken Biriyani aubergine curry and a lovely salad. Shermin was a great teacher, I learnt lots and she was lovely to chat to.

Two of us were welcomed by Najma for a Biriyani class in her immaculate kitchen. It was such fun and we had hands-on experience of making an amazing meal that we took away and enjoyed at home. Although we are Indian cookery novices, she made it straightforward and achievable.  We shall enjoy recreating the dishes at home!

Attended a biriyani class with my daughter. Fantastic experience. Only 2 of us in the class so a very personal tuition session. Shermin in lovely, has infectious enthusiasm and clearly a highly skilled chef. Highly recommend.

Shermin's cooking class was a joy from start to finish! She is a fantastic teacher, deeply knowledgeable and very welcoming. We had loads of questions and she was happy to share her expertise. The food was mouth-watering and we learnt so much. I can't recommend a class at Najma's cooking school highly enough!

My girlfriend and I did the biryani course and absolutely loved it. Shermin is really knowledgeable and passionate. The recipe was really easy to follow and the food tasted amazing.

The Vegetarian Thali Cooking Class was incredible! Shermin taught us how to cook 4 dishes, letting us completely take ownership of our own cooking to learn about the flavours and processes of Indian cooking. Even when booking the course, Shermin gave us a chance to adapt the cooking class to suit what we wanted to learn. This course was the perfect balance of professionalism but in a warming home environment. It’s safe to say I will never cook rice the same again!! I’m so excited to try out these recipes again and dive deeper into Indian cooking. Thank you for such a wonderful morning.

I found the whole experience from booking to the actual day perfect! Allowing for a mixed age range from 7, 17 to 57 we found Sherman an utter delight. Informative, kind and patient (as well as enabling us to harness our inner chef) we created a fantastic Indian meal that fed us again the following day! Thank you.
