From the southern Indian word "kari" meaning "sauce", comes the catch-all term for curry, which is quite popular in southeast Asia as well as throughout the entire world. East Indian in origin, curry is a term used to refer to a number of hot, spicy and usually thickened sauce-based dishes. Curry leaf itself is from a plant native to southern Asia. This fragrant herb looks like a small, shiny lemon leaf and has a pungent curry fragrance.

This class will feature a demonstration on making a curry powder using spices, herbs, and seeds which can be easily found on our island. Students are encouraged to bring their own mortar and pestle to make the paste as the next step in the process.

The other portion of the class will feature summer rolls made out of rice paper and stuffed with fresh island ingredients such as lettuce, cilantro, mint, mango and papaya, thin strips of carrot, and cold chicken breast. Dipping sauces will also be featured, including sweet chili, peanut, and citrus soy.
