An authentic and... - An authentic and delicious cooking experience, we visited the market to gather ingredients. Madhu and her family were so welcoming, we had a glimpse into their daily life. We helped prepare so many dishes that were bursting with flavour, it was awesome to use the timeworn mortar and pestle that has been passed down the generations. I highly recommend.

Real home style cooking at Home! - The real star of this experience, Ms Madhu. Right from meeting us at the pickup location, taking us around the market to buy the ingredients to cook and of course most important inviting us to her home and cooking with us. This isn't a cooking studio or a restaurant/ hotel gimmick. It's a real home cooking experience with actual earthenware and traditional methods using whole spices and old school techniques. What we loved the most is the variety of vegetables used, we literally had flavoured rice with 5 different veggies, an egg dish and traditional chicken curry. We all ate the meal at her home in their family dining table. Best meal we've had on our trip to SL thus far, highly recommend this experience.
