“It was absolutely amazing experience in a lovely local Madhu’s family. We were group of 5 ladies and each of us is grateful and super excited about the class. Process of cooking was interesting, all ingredients were fresh (we bought some vegs & fish in market), spices, coconut milk were homemade. And of course food (fish curry) was delicious! The best curry I ever had in my life! Madhu was so kind and cooked special fish for our friend who doesn’t eat a lot of spices. Highly recommend this experience ❤️”
