Private Sri Lankan Home Cooking Class in Kandy with Transfers

Join Buddhima in her home kitchen for a hands-on Sri Lankan cooking class and learn to prepare traditional dishes using recipes passed down from her mother. During this one-hour cooking lesson, you will gain insight into the ingredients, spices, and techniques used in everyday Sri Lankan home cooking.

Learn to make dishes such as dhal cooked in coconut milk, cassava (tapioca) curry, and a regional vegetable dish made with banana flower. Along the way, Buddhima will explain the role of spices, herbs, and local produce in Sri Lankan cuisine, helping you build the confidence to recreate these dishes at home.

This cooking class is especially well suited for families traveling with children. Younger guests can play and interact with Buddhima's sons, Mandil and Sandun, when they are home. For children who may not enjoy spicy food, Buddhima is happy to prepare a different main dish to ensure everyone has an enjoyable experience.

After cooking, sit down to enjoy the traditional Sri Lankan meal you helped prepare while learning more about local culture and family life in rural Sri Lanka.
