Meeting Room A and B (R117)

Learn how to roast, grind, and mix your own spice blends in celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month!

Learn how to roast, grind, and mix your own spice blends in celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Mary Anne Mohanraj, author of the Sri Lankan cookbooks, "A Feast of Serendib" and "Vegan Serendib," will walk you through the process of creating a dark-roasted Sri Lankan spice blend, using your stovetop, a pan, and a dedicated spice (or coffee) grinder.  (You can also use a mortar and pestle, but it'll be a lot of work!)  She'll talk about the cultural history of Sri Lankan cuisine, what kinds of dishes you'd typically use such a spice mix for (both vegetarian and non-veg. options), and how you can adapt this process to your own tastes (altering the heat level, for example, or skipping a spice you don't like).  By the end, you'll be able to create your own South Asian spice blends!
