    Edward Hamann grew up in California and credits his grandmother for his early love of cooking as well as the abundance of fresh local produce found in the region. Inspired by the regional cuisines of India during his teenage years, Hamann later found himself traveling extensively throughout India collecting local recipes wherever he could and learning tips and techniques from street vendors, housewives and restaurant chefs. He studied beside Julie Sahni at The Julie Sahni School of Indian Cooking in NYC and worked closely with Chef Sahni on a variety of events, including some for National Geographic Traveler, and has been teaching others to cook for over ten years.Hamann’s international travels have greatly influenced him in his culinary pursuits and have given him deep appreciation for the plethora of spices that are available to the home cook but not widely understood or utilized. Through his instruction Hamann hopes to demystify cooking with spices and open up the cuisines of other cultures, such as Mexican, Persian and Afghani, to his students. As Hamann states Cooking can be a different kind of journey, by preparing the foods of other countries in our own homes we can taste the memories of trips we may have taken or perhaps taste the dreams of trips we hope to take someday.Edward Hamann is currently Culinary Coordinator for Sur La Table Cooking School and is responsible for managing the cooking class program, recipe development, setting curriculum and teaching classes in Sur La Table’s Pentagon Row store (1101 South Joyce Street) in Arlington, Virginia.

    Edward Hammon: Hello! I am Edward Hammon, and I am here today at Sur La Table Cooking School in Arlington, Virginia. Today I am going to show you how to make Butter Chicken. What we will be covering in this series is, how to prepare the Tandoori-Style Chicken required for Butter Chicken and also the preparing of our sauce.

    To make Tandoori-Style Chicken the ingredients you will need are: one two-and-a-half to three pound chicken, skinned and cut into 8 to 10 serving pieces, half-a-cup plain yogurt, four tablespoons sunflower oil or other lite vegetable oil, two tablespoons fresh lemon juice, four garlic cloves, peeled, two tablespoons peeled coarsely chopped fresh ginger, two teaspoons ground cumin, one teaspoon of the Indian spice blend Garam Masala, one teaspoon bright red paprika or cayenne pepper or a combination, one teaspoon salt, two tablespoons melted butter or clarified butter for brushing.

    The equipment you will need for this butter chicken dish is: a very sharp knife, one large bowl, one pair of tongs, one shallow baking sheet covered with aluminum foil, and a large wire rack, such as a cake rack, to cover it, an electric blender, one small cast-iron skillet or other heavy pan, one large heavy nonstick saut pan with a lid.

    Today we will be using very sharp knifes and working with hot ovens. We will also be working with raw poultry. It is always important to remember to wash your hands after handling it and to change out your cutting boards to a clean one, before moving on to other ingredients, to prevent cross-contamination. I studied cooking at the Julie Sahni's School of Indian Cooking in New York City, and I have traveled all over India, studying its regional cuisines.

    Currently, I am the Culinary Coordinator, here at Sur La Table Cooking School in Arlington, Virginia, where I teach classes on Indian and other cuisines on a regular basis. Let us get started making our Butter Chicken. The first step is going to be making the Tandoori-Style Chicken.
