Kandy homestays offering authentic Ayurvedic cooking classes
5 Answers from travellers
Yes, many traditional Kandyan families naturally cook following basic Ayurvedic principles (balancing cooling and heating foods, using specific spices for digestion). If you request an "Ayurvedic cooking experience" when booking, hosts will gladly teach you how to make Gotukola Kanda (herbal porridge), bitter gourd sambol, and curries using medicinal spices like turmeric and drumstick leaves.
Yes, pure cold-pressed coconut oil is considered highly medicinal in Sri Lankan Ayurveda.
The herbal porridge they make in the morning is incredibly healthy but tastes very earthy. It takes getting used to.
Do they use a lot of coconut oil in Ayurvedic cooking.
Make sure they teach you how to roast your own curry powder. It changes everything.
