The Chilli Wonka Club students had a fantastic time learning about Mexican cuisine ‘Tacos and Churros.’ The activity was held on Saturday, 23rd August 2025, under the expert guidance of our esteemed resource persons, Mr. Ayush Bhosale, a former student of Vikhe Patil Memorial School.
This activity was conducted to introduce students to basic cooking techniques, kitchen safety, and meal preparation and to explore them to the different cuisines, ingredients, and cooking traditions from around the world. The cooking activity started with an engaging and informative PowerPoint presentation which provided an overview of Mexico’s rich culinary traditions and a visual walkthrough of the recipes.
A team of 26 young chefs enthusiastically came together to prepare the two delicious dishes with great teamwork and excitement.
Activity Details:
- Tacos: A Fun and Tasty Meal
In the session of preparation of Tacos, our students keenly observed about the process of preparing Tacos and making Salsa sauce. Students loved adding fresh toppings like diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and sour cream to make the tacos extra special. The crunchy Tacos shells added a fun texture to each bite.
- Churros: Sweet and Delicious
Churros, a classic Mexican dessert are fried dough pastries coated in a sweet cinnamon, sugar mixture that makes them irresistible. Mr. Ayush explained the steps of making the dessert right from making dough to frying and coating with cinnamon and sugar powder. Students enjoyed dipping our churros in chocolate sauce, which added an extra layer of flavours and fun.
Our exploration of Mexican cuisine was a huge success! Students learned about the delicious flavours and ingredients used in Tacos and Churros. These popular Mexican dishes are not only tasty but also fun to make and eat. The students were excited to try more international cuisines and learn about different cultures through food.
