The kitchen is warm before you arrive: steam lifts from metal pots, the sound of a gas flame and a practiced hand coaxing curry leaves until they darken and perfume the room. In Chef Mohara Dole’s three-hour class in Colombo, participants step up to that same stove—measuring spices by sight and memory, not by strict recipes—and learn to build Sri Lankan curries, rices, and sambols.
