Our warmhearted host, Buddhima, will collect you from your lodging in Kandy and take you to her home, a 30-minute drive away. She is thrilled to introduce visitors to the vibrant blend of spice, flavor, and aesthetic that defines Sri Lankan cuisine. When at home, her family, which includes her mother and her two children, Mandil and Sandun, are all happy to welcome guests to their quaint, rustic home nestled in the green countryside of Kandy, just a stone’s throw from the Gadaladeniya temple. Don your apron and be prepared to delve into the art of Sri Lankan curry-making in their modest kitchen, following secret recipes passed down from her mother. Your private cooking tutorial will span an hour, within which you’ll uncover the steps to creating dhal (lentils simmered in coconut milk), fish or cassava curry and regional dishes like banana flower. With a newfound understanding of the core components of Sri Lankan culinary culture, revel in the flavors of the meal you’ve contributed to creating, accompanied by a cool beer and enjoyable company!
