Despite it’s close proximity to Southern India (renowned to be the spiciest of all Indian cuisine) the food of Sri Lanka has its own vibe and distinct flavours.
Sri Lanka has been colonised by many different countries over the years, including the Portuguese, Dutch and British – it is now a republic with the 25 year civil war having ended in 2009.
Sri Lankans absolutely love spices and explore a wide variety of flavours in a wonderful blend of different curries and tasty dishes, whatever you choose Sri Lankan food will make your mouth rejoice with happiness.

Class Description
Sri Lankan food has parallels to South Indian food, yet it remains distinctly its own form of cuisine. Our weekend class is a combination of demo, hands-on cookery and then time to eat the meal prepared and chat to chef – any left overs can be taken home.
The food sold on the streets as with much of South Asia is full of flavour and is often the freshest you can find. Throughout years of colonisation and influence from other countries, Sri Lanka has adapted its food culture into a blend of different curry concoctions and tasty dishes.
In this class you will immerse yourself in Sri Lankan cuisine, creating a selection of dishes which you will enjoy eating at the end of the class.
Examples of what you might cook:
Aubergine moju (pickle)
Hoppers
Kale mallung (kale and coconut salad)
Deviled Sweet and Sour Fish Curry
Sri Lankan Dhal Curry (Parippu)
Vegetarian Kottu
What’s included:
