About this experience
Join a private three-hour cooking class in Bentota and prepare classic Sri Lankan dishes from scratch. A dedicated Sri Lankan chef walks you through each recipe — starting with an introduction to the curries, their ingredients, and spices — before you cook at your own station using traditional clay pots and coconut spoons. All ingredients are provided, mineral water is included throughout, and the class runs in English, welcoming guests aged five and above.
The main menu covers dhal (Sri Lankan lentil curry) and chicken curry, with the option to request any other dish you'd like to learn. You sit down to eat what you've cooked at the end of the session. Transportation to the cooking space is not included. Lakpura organises this as a fully private activity, so the chef's attention stays entirely on your group for all three hours.
