We had an absolutely amazing time at the cooking class. The whole experience was lovely, everyone was really friendly, and we got to cook some delicious Sri Lankan curries and enjoy them with the group after. The settings was lovely, off the beaten track in the families garden surrounded by nature! Indra and her family were amazing hosts, super welcoming and good fun! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an enjoyable, light hearted cooking experience in Mirissa.

We had the best time. Started off by going to markets and picking the vegetables we wanted before making our own coconut milk and 5 x curry's. Best tasting curry we've had here in Sri Lanka and had so much fun. Could not recommend Indra and Prabodi enough
Excellent

The cooking class with Indra and Nona was great! We were allowed to choose ourselves which types of curry we would like to prepare and select the vegetables in the shop. Together with Indra we cooked and of course we were allowed to taste our work at the end
Authentic Sri Lankan cooking class we will never forget!

We had a wonderful cooking lesson!! We first shopped for local vegetables with a ride by tuktuk, before heading back to the Sri Lankan home, where we felt like part of the family. We prepared 5 curry dishes, step-by-step, with coconut milk from scratch & popadoms! It was a very authentic and personal experience, highly recommend!
Wonderful experience & delicious food!!!

We had such a wonderful cooking class with Prabodi & Indra. They took us to the markets to choose our fresh produce, and they were so kind & attentive throughout the entire class! The curries were one of the best we’d had in Sri Lanka - we highly recommend it 😍 (they’ve also opened up an air bnb in the same location which is absolutely beautiful)
Fabulous & welcoming class, delicious food!!

The cooking class was really lovely. I loved that we went to the shop together and we were able to choose our own dishes. The food was really tasty and the atmosphere was so friendly and lovely the whole time. I definitely recommend it and would do it again! They also just startet Airbnb and the rooms looked so great. All in all it’s a really lovely place with great hosts!

I went with 4 friends to the cooking class. It was a beautiful home where we were able to cook together an amazing dinner with 4-5 different curries. First we all went shopping together, which I really enjoyed. The cooking itself was really interesting and fun. And of course the food was absolutely amazing and tasty! Highly recommended. Also they just started a new Airbnb Business and the rooms looked really well done.
it was GREAT !!!

We were greeted so warmly by Prabodi and her mom and then went to the vegetable stand together with the tuktuk. After that everything was always explained to us super great, shown and we were allowed to help with the cooking. It was so funny, we had a lot of fun! There were so many different dishes from lentils dahl, pumpkin curry, mushrooms, pampadam, coconut roti, fried potatoes - and it was the best food so far on our whole Sri Lanka trip !!!
Rice and curry

The cooking class started with a visit to the market where they explained how to select the best raw materials. We prepared rice and curry with an expert cook who explained the tricks to make this dish tastier! Very funny and interesting!
