点评:My friends and I had such a lovely evening cooking with Mona – what a great, authentic and memorable experience!
Mona warmly welcomed us into her home and together we cooked several traditional Sri Lankan dishes, including carrot curry, aubergine curry, okra salad and coconut sambal. She took the time to explain the ingredients, techniques and traditions behind everything we were making. One of the highlights was learning how to make our own coconut milk completely from scratch using a fresh coconut – so much fun and very different from what we are used to in Europe with canned coconut milk!
It was very hands-on, relaxed and full of conversation, and we learned much more than just a set of recipes. At the end, we sat down together to enjoy everything we had cooked, which was absolutely delicious. I was also very happy to be able to buy some of Mona’s own curry mix to take home with me for friends and family.
If you’re in Arugam Bay and want to learn about traditional Sri Lankan cooking in a genuinely warm and personal setting, I couldn’t recommend cooking with Mona more highly!
翻译:我和朋友们与莫娜一起度过了一个愉快的夜晚——真是一次很棒、地道又难忘的体验!
莫娜热情地将我们迎入家中,我们一起烹饪了多道斯里兰卡传统菜肴,包括胡萝卜咖喱、茄子咖喱、秋葵沙拉以及椰子萨姆巴尔。她还耐心地为我们讲解了每道菜所用的食材、烹饪技巧以及相关传统习俗。最令人开心的环节就是学习如何用新鲜椰子从头开始制作椰奶——这个过程乐趣无穷,也和我们在欧洲习惯使用的罐装椰奶大不相同!
整个课程注重实践操作,氛围轻松自在且充满了交流互动。我们学到的也远不止是一系列食谱而已。最后,我们围坐在一起品尝自己亲手制作的美食,味道简直棒极了!我也很高兴能够买到一些莫娜自制的咖喱调料,带回家送给亲朋好友。
如果你身在阿鲁甘湾,又想在一个温馨且亲切的氛围中学习斯里兰卡的传统烹饪技艺,我极力推荐向莫娜学做菜!
