Lamprais, also spelled "lumprice", "lampraise" or "lumprais", is aSri Lankan dish that was introduced by the country'sDutch Burgher population.[1][2] Lamprais is an Anglicised derivative of the Dutch wordlomprijst,[3] which loosely translated means a packet or lump of rice, and it is also believed the dish has roots in the Indonesia dishlemper.[4]

History

[edit]

From 1658 until 1796, the coast of Sri Lanka was underDutch rule. TheDutch Burghers (an ethnic group of mixed Dutch,Portuguese Burghers and Sri Lankan descent) came up with the dish. The dish itself is not a native dish to the Netherlands but is based on theJavanese meallemper. Lemper is a snack consisting of shredded seasoned meat andglutinous rice wrapped in a banana leaf. The Dutch inDutch Ceylon are likely to have adapted this dish from theDutch East Indies in the early 16th century.[5]

One of the first literary mentions of lamprais was in Hilda Deutrom'sCeylon Daily News Cookery Book, published in 1929.[6]

Composition

[edit]
Lamprais
Lamprais, comprising chicken, egg, cutlet, fried eggplant and ash plantain

It consists of two specialcurries (a three-meat curry, often including beef, pork and chicken, and ashplantain withaubergine),seeni sambol,belacan,frikadeller meatballs andrice boiled in stock, all of which is wrapped inbanana leaves and baked in an oven.[7] The rice is made by frying raw short-grain rice with onions and spices in butter or ghee and then cooking it in a meat stock. A hard-boiled egg which has been deep-fried is also a common, but non-traditional, addition.[8]

The traditional recipe always contains three meat items; however, modern versions can include just a single meat, such as fish or chicken, or may be vegetarian.[9]
