If you are good-food geek, here’s something for you. Prem’s Graama Bhojanam, which opened recently in Anna Nagar, is organising free cookery classes. The initiative promises to offer recipes that combine taste and health. “Converting children to healthy food options is not easy. They would rather go for snacks than, say, a plate of ragi idlis. Keeping that in mind, we have developed healthy cutlets, sweet potao fries, sweet potato tawa fries and specialty vadas with herbals instead of dhal where we use karamani or green gram or horse gram. We also have candies with Amaranth pops,” explains N.S Krishnamoorthi, founder, Prem's Grama Bhojanam. (The eatery has been serving traditional vegetarian fare at Adyar for a few years now.) For instance, the ordinary cutlet can be made healthier using sweet potato that has a lower glycemic index and is high in fibre, boiled green gram or channa and some roasted millet powder as binder, says Krishnamoorthi. The classes will be interactive sessions and people can have their questions about healthy foods answered. The new restaurant has a bigger menu than the one in Adyar. You can taste soups, starters, bamboo rice and even a millet biriyani in air-conditioned comfort with sufficient parking space. The classes are conducted every second and fourth Wednesday (from 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.) For registration, call 48656595 or 9840062772. The restuarant is located at No.112, AL Block, 4th Avenue, Shanti Colony, Anna Nagar.
