Highlights

Enjoy a private and authentic Sri Lankan meal with your host Bandu in his home. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. Bandu is a kind and friendly host, a retired IT professional who has lived overseas for over 35 years. He learned to cook from his mother and has been cooking traditional, home style Sri Lankan food for over 40 years. He initially learned to cook for survival as a young professional and now is extremely passionate about cooking for friends. Apart from cooking, Bandu likes traveling, hiking and swimming. He has traveled to over 35 countries and has even learned to cook local food in a few of them. When asked why he would like to be a host, Bandu says, “this is a great opportunity to learn about other cultures and meet like-minded people.”

Itinerary

  • Colombo

    This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Your experience begins by meeting your host Bandu at his high-rise apartment. During your 2-hour hands-on authentic Sri Lankan cooking class, you will learn to make a couple of local vegetable dishes and a curry. Before you begin cooking, Bandu will show you how to make homemade roasted curry powder - a delicious blend of spices that used to make most Sri Lankan curries. After cooking, enjoy your meal over delightful conversation with this friendly local. Bandu always has a story to tell and is excited to share knowledge about Sri Lanka, its culture and cuisine! Listen to all his interesting stories while you share the meal you have just cooked together at his dining table. Chicken or fish curry, eggplant stir-fry, lentils, rice and gotu kola salad (a melange of a leafy green noted for its medicinal properties, minced shallots, lime juice and freshly grated coconut) are some of the authentic Sri Lankan dishes you might cook. You will end your meal with curd and treacle (a traditional dessert) or wattalappam (coconut custard pudding).
