My Indian Culinary Class

Yesterday (Monday), I went for the groupon offer.
The food didn't taste quite Indian. Chef wasn't Indian either. I suppose they tried to make the food not too "ethnic", as some might find that too much.
Learned some ideas like storing egg content in a ketchup bottle to safe the cracking time, oxidation of food (no good) and oiling baking container.
Here are the recipes they put into my account on their site:
