Great experience with delicious food

If you’re thinking about signing up for a cooking class with Prius, do it! The food we made wasnt too complex (will be easy to replicate at home) and so delicious (especially the eggplant curry!). Priya is also so lovely and the classes are so affordable.

Amazing experience, great food

Priya’s cooking class was amazing, showcasing how to create beautiful authentic sri lankan dishes. We created so many lovely curries (dhal, mango curry, green bean curry, carrot curry) coconut sambal, aubergine salad, rice and poppadoms.

Priya was so knowledgeable about the cooking methods, ingredients and their benefits and sent us the recipes to recreate them at home.

Overall loved this experience, meeting other like minded people and the yummy food - will deffos be trying these recipes when i get back to the UK!

It was also incredible value for money - c. £7 per adult (half price for children 12 and under) for the experience and allllll that food

it’s fun and you get tasty food that you cooked your own

Without hesitations i booked the cooking class when I saw that offer.
It’s 3000 rupees including the recipes send via whatsapp directly after the class.
We were a group of 13 people cutting. preparing and cooking all together.
We cooked rice and different kinds of curries, a coconut sambal and rotis.
after cooking we ate together.

Pros: several kinds of curries, very tasty food , everybody gets his own cutting board + knife

Cons: too many attendants so not really much space

Vegan cooking class in Ella

At only 3000 rupees this class in excellent value, especially given the price of food and accommodation in Ella. A small group class, so everyone gets to be involved and Priya creates a convivial atmosphere.

Pros: Authentic , Small group, Delicious food

Class act

Priya is a wonderful chef who isn’t only an expert at cooking but also a fantastic teacher.

We were quite a large group of people but she involved everyone in the preparation process. We made several curries and dishes (pineapple, bean, beetroot, squash based, dhal, coconut roti, eggplant salad). Everything was explained clearly and at the end of the cooking class we all sat down for a lovely meal. Priya sent us the recipes directly after the class.

I would recommend this class to everyone in Ella. It is only 3000 Sri Lankan rupees and you get a wonderful experience and meal (:

Great local cooking class

This cooking class is super to follow. Priya is very very nice and explains well what she is doing. At the end you get the recipe's, so you can try at home as well.

For those who are afraid of to spicy, it is not spicy at all if you tell her you do not like spicy food.

Fun cooking class and delicious food

We did the cooking class with Priya today, and we absolutely loved it. Priya was very kind and patient and explained everything clearly. We made a few different curries, a salad, coconut roti and sambol. All were delicious and also important; everything was vegan. Would definitely recommend this experience.

Viel gelernt

Es hat Spaß gemacht, zu kochen. Prija erklärt sehr gut. Wir haben 5 Currys, Rotti und Auberginen-Salat gekocht und alles hat wirklich super geschmeckt. Allerdings gibt es auch einen Kritikpunkt:
Anscheinend verliert sie den Überblick bei den Buchungen. Wir waren 12 Personen, mehr passten nicht an den Tisch. Weitere 2, die ein paar Minuten später kamen, wurden wieder weggeschickt, obwohl sie reserviert hatten.

You learn a lot and make great dishes

I took the class last night and really enjoyed it. We made four curries: pineapple, green beans, pumpkin, and Dahl, and then we also made rice, coconut sambal, roti, and poppadoms. For all the food and the class you only pay 2500, it's a great deal. Priya is very sweet and explains everything well while directing everyone to chip in and try spicing the dishes or kneading the roti. After eating Sri Lankan food for weeks it's super nice to finally have an idea of how to make it myself. Definitely recommend this experience

Amazing recipes!

Priya’s amazing cooking class shows just how easy amazing food can be to make. With everything made from scratch, Priya guides you through 9 dishes each as delicious as the last. Will be recommending this to all my friends that travel to Sri Lanka as a must do!

Vegan cooking class

Lovely lady offering traditional cooking class in fluent English language. Our class was from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at 2500 LKR per person. Roti, rice and like 8 different currys were cooked together on an outside terrace.
You can get the recipes to your WhatsApp or Email after the class.
Bring warm clothes, it might be chill and windy.
Google maps is wrong (follow blue line on the picture)

Pros: Local food

Cons: Meat recipes included but not cooked in class

AMAZING!

With Priya I had one of the most wonderful nights of my trip in Sri Lanka. Priya is such a nice lady and shows you how to cook so many different curries while she really lets you participate in the cooking process and answers all questions. The dishes were all vegan, sooo tasty and you even get the recipe book afterwards. Absolute recommendation!
