Galle Fort Cooking with Mama

Engage your senses within the storied walls of Galle Fort as you learn to prepare authentic Sri Lankan rice and curry alongside Mama. A hands-on culinary experience where colonial heritage meets island spice, just a short journey from The Fortress Resort & Spa. 

Within the Fort’s sun-baked bastions and salty ocean whispers, Mama, beloved keeper of low-country lore, unveils the art of pounding fiery seeni sambol, weaving coconut into ambul thiyal’s tangy embrace, and layering lamprais with market-fresh bounty like jackfruit curries and gotu kola mallum. Breathe in the perfume of roasted curry leaves and tamarind as you shape pol roti and temper dhal with pandan grace, every technique a thread in Sri Lanka’s flavorful Sri Lanka’s low-country palette. This intimate kitchen ritual, set against rampart views, transforms ingredients into feasts that echo generations.
