Our agent knows that we like cooking so booked a private Sri Lankan cookery class. Earlier in our trip we saw a hotel hosted class which was more demonstration and photo opportunity than cooking. However, we were taken to the private home of Danesha who immediately took us in a tuk-tuk to a local market to buy vegetables and prawns.
Danesha was a charming and excellent teacher and together we prepared; fish curry, prawn curry, dhal, green bean curry, potato curry, fried aubergine salad and rice. Our driver, Sumedha, Danesha and her children joined us for lunch in her outside kitchen for the spicy dishes (unexpectedly so for Tim after eating a green chilli disguised as a green bean).
