Join Soumya for a live cooking demo built around one of India’s most beloved dishes — Chicken Tikka Masala. But forget the store-bought spice packets and the hour-long simmer. This is the version her mom made smarter: a deeply aromatic spice blend built from scratch, and a one-bowl method that comes together almost entirely in the Instant Pot.
Watch the whole dish come to life right in front of you — from grinding the spice mix to the final simmer — while learning everything that makes tikka masala tick. You’ll get a deep dive into the spices themselves: what each one does, how to adjust heat and depth to your taste, what to swap when you’re out of something, and how to make it richer, lighter, smokier, or milder without losing the soul of the dish.
No guesswork, no mystery. Just a front-row seat to real Indian home cooking, with all the tips and context that cookbooks leave out, followed by Q&A, light dinner tasting, with some sides along with freshly prepared Chicken tikka masala!
