Learning objectives:
To use our senses to compare different tastes, textures, sounds and smells.
To understand where food comes from.
To use the basic principles of a healthy and varied diet to prepare dishes.
Before the lesson:
Introduce your students to some of the ingredients we will be using in our Palak Paneer dish using this sensory adventure activity. Give each child a small sample of each ingredient and ask them to explore them using all of their senses. For tasting the onion, you may wish to use cooked or crispy salad onions for a milder flavour. For tasting the ginger, you could use ginger biscuits.

Challenge your students to complete this Harvest Thali shopping list activity during the lesson.
