Classic Sri Lankan Cookery Class

The vivid colours and flavours of curry spices, coconut milk and sweet caramelised onion await in this popular Sri Lankan food evening, with Cooking It.

You’ll discover classic Sri Lankan flavours and incredible curry dinners, as well as authentic local recipes. The dishes made will depend on fresh produce available and could include:

  • Jackfruit curry
  • Potato curry
  • Pol sambol - coconut, lime, shallot and chilli relish
  • Watalappan - cardamom spiced coconut flan If you love Sri Lankan food or perhaps you aren’t sure you have ever tried Sri Lankan food but love the deep rich flavours of South Asia, which we know so many of you do, you are sure to be amazed with this menu!

Our Sri Lankan Class will teach you how to make several dishes including wonderful accompaniments and a pudding. We can guarantee that you will leave wholly satisfied.

You will start your class with a demonstration explaining to you each dish and supplying you with the know-how of making these delicious dishes. Having absorbed the information you need, you will get cooking yourselves, whipping up the flavourful menu that you will get to enjoy at the end of the class.
