Ashoka, part of the Apple Harlequin Group, has teamed up with Motherwell College to offer classes on how to prepare the perfect Indian meal.
Ashoka Cook School founder Jiggy Majhu said: "I’ve been working hand-in-hand alongside Sanjay to build Harlequin into the largest and most popular Indian restaurant group in Europe for many years now, so it’s great to finally emerge from his shadow with this exciting new venture.
"Everyone knows Scots love curries and I’m sure our new Cook School will prove to be a popular success.
"If you love Indian cuisine and fancy trying your hand at cooking up your own delicious Indian banquet, then Ashoka Cook School will provide you with the perfect recipe for successfully cooking up a storm in the comfort of your own home.
"You’ll find out just how easy it is to prepare our delicious Ashoka cuisine at home as our masterchef and his assistant take you through a step-by-step guide to preparing and cooking your meal.
"Over the weeks you’ll learn how to make a sizzling selection of Indian starters, main courses and accompaniments – and at the end of the class you’ll be given the recipes to try out for yourself at your leisure at home."
Lessons will be led by executive chef Dali, an Ashoka veteran of some 25 years, while Jiggy has secured the expertise of James Tagg (former executive chef at Rangers FC and now executive chef at Manchester United FC) who will act as a non-executive director to Ashoka Cook School.
All classes offer a selection of five different menus and run on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays at Motherwell College.
Meanwhile, the Ashoka Gold Class will run from 10.30am until 3.30pm on a strictly limited number of weekends and feature a five-course banquet created by Ashoka owner Sanjay Majhu and executive chef Dali of Ashoka Ashton Lane.
It will also incorporate an insightful business presentation on how to run a successful restaurant business.
