Lamprais (Lampreys/ Lumprice)

Posted by Manel Dharmarathne

This is a Sri Lankan Dutch Burger delicacy that is very popular in Sri Lanka. It consists of the following items wrapped and baked in banana leaves. Although the original recipe includes a mixture of meats you can make it with a single meat or a vegetarian version with TVP or grilled cubed vege-burgers.

Yellow Rice
Lampara curry (Beef, Mutton, Lamb, Pork, Chicken, TVP)
Seeni Sambol
Cutlet
Fried Ash Plantain curry
Wambatu Moju
Fried Boiled Egg (Deep fry the boiled Eggs till golden brown)
To Assemble:
Heat banana leaves to make them pliable.
Serve a rice portion on to a banana leaf that is about 20 inch square. Serve the rest of the curries around the rice. Fold the banana leaf into a rice packet, taking care not to tare the leaf.
Bake in a 350F oven for 30 minutes. Serve hot
