About this activity
Learn to cook Nanditha’s signature Sri Lankan crab curry and red coconut sambol during your two-hour cooking class. Sri Lankan crab curry is a delicacy and when made with the right balance of spices, coconut milk, moringa leaves, garlic, onion, ginger and lemon – it becomes a very special, memorable meal! Apart from cooking, Nanditha is also passionate about gardening and has a roof top garden. Before you start your cooking class, Nanditha will take you on a small tour of her garden and show you all her organic greens. She grows herbs, chilies, curry leaves, vegetables. Here you will get to pick a few moringa leaves for your crab curry preparation!

You will then head to the dining table to enjoy some delicious Sri Lankan crab curry that is eaten with roast bread, string hoppers, dhal curry (lentils) and red coconut sambol. You cannot leave without tasting Nanditha’s famed milk toffees, and a special dessert baked by her daughter. End your experience with some refreshing Sri Lankan ginger tea.
