Where can tourists take authentic cooking classes in Ella?

Ella has become one of the best places in Sri Lanka for tourist cooking classes thanks to its relaxed pace and many talented host families. Ella Spice Garden, Ravana Kitchen, and Ella Cooking Class with Ruwani are all highly rated options. A typical half day session starts with a visit to a local market to buy fresh ingredients followed by three to four hours of hands on cooking covering anywhere from six to ten dishes. Expect to prepare dhal curry, coconut sambol, chicken or vegetable curry, pol roti flatbread, jackfruit curry, and a sweet dessert like watalappam.
