Indian Cuisines
with Chef Lakhbir Singh • All Levels
Create a full Indian menu — starters, main courses and desserts. Know your spices and learn the fine balance that creates the perfect taste. Pre-recorded, self-paced, open to every skill level.
About This Course
Indian food is not one cuisine — it is dozens of regional traditions, each with its own spice logic, cooking method and finishing touch. APCA Chef Online’s Indian Cuisines course is built to take that complexity and make it learnable, one recipe at a time.
Across 20 recipes, the course walks you through a complete Indian menu: Punjabi classics like Amritsari Choley and Malai Kofta, Kashmiri specialities like Dum Aloo Kashmiri and Rara Meat, Rajasthani heat in Laal Maas and Gatta Curry, Hyderabadi celebration food in Murgh Biryani, street-style favourites like Amritsari Fish and Shami Kebab, and the sweets that close out every Indian meal — Jalebi, Phirni, Shrikhand, Carrot Halwa and Double Ka Meetha.
The course isn’t a random collection of recipes. It is built around one core skill: understanding spices. Chef Lakhbir Singh breaks down which spices go in at which stage of cooking, how tempering (tadka) changes a dish, how to balance heat, sourness and sweetness against each other, and why the same masala base can become five different curries depending on how it is handled. Once that balance clicks, you are not just following recipes — you can start building your own.
Every lesson is pre-recorded video, so you watch, pause, cook and rewatch as many times as you need. There is no live class to attend and no deadline to hit — the course runs on your schedule, with 6 months of access from the day you enroll.
