Learn all about Indian Sweets and Snacks, Jayant Sukhadia

There are two spots available.

Chicago Foodways Roundtable

Learn all about Indian Sweets and Snacks
with Mr. Jayant Sukhadia

Saturday, May 14, 10:00 –12:00 pm.
Sukhadia’s, 2559 West Devon Avenue (southeast corner of Devon and Rockwell)
Cost: $5.00

If you’ve been on Devon Avenue lately, you may have noticed the profusion of snack and sweet shops. South Asians love to snack, and the region has one of the world’s great street food traditions. But the sheer variety of savory and sweet dishes, reflecting different regional traditions (North Indian, Gujarati, Bengali, etc.) can be confusing.

To shed some light on this tasty culinary corner, Mr. Jayant Sukhadia, owner of Sukadia’s, will give us a tour of his shop/showroom, demonstrate how to make some popular snacks, and serve a delicious sampling of his sweet and savory wares. The Sukhadia family has been in the sweet and snack shop business for 130 years.

Reserve by PM to Cathy2.

This promises to be a fantastic event. Anyone with any interest in Indian food ought to go. Sukhadia's is well known for sweets, of course . . .







. . . but I didn't realize the extent of their Gujarati food offerings. It might be worth staying for one of their excellent thalis.



And, yes, they have pan.

Between soft voiced presenters and loud ambient noise, it was a challenge. Now there is an opportunity to hear it better.

Thanks for this, I wanted to attend and was unable, but now I can hear the talk.
