Our Chef teaches you the art to making our fabulous curries

Meet with the Kumu Beach Chef for an in-depth demonstration on how to recreate some of the fabulous Rice and Curry dishes served at our restaurant. You’ll learn about the various spices used to flavour the dishes and the different methods of preparing each of the delicious curries.

The chef will select vegetables from the local market prior to the cook, and you are welcome to join him on his visit to the market if you like. In the demonstration, the chef will use clay pots to cook each curry. These clay ‘chatties’ are the secret to providing an authentic and distinctive flavour to Sri Lankan cuisine, and have been used across the island for centuries.

You will have the option of picking from a fish, chicken, or seafood curry, along with a dhal (lentil) curry and a selection of vegetable curries depending on what is in season. After the demonstration, enjoy a lunchtime feast of the delicious Rice and Curry meal you’ve prepared followed by a traditional Sri Lankan dessert.
