ABOUT LAMPRAIS
Pronounced "Lump Rice" | based on the Dutch word "lomprijst," meaning "packet of food"
Lamprais is a delicacy originally invented by the Sri Lankan wives of Dutch colonizers. It marries Lankan spices and rice with the meat-heavy diet of the Netherlands.
Packed in a banana leaf and either baked or steamed to reheat, it offered portability for take-to-work lunches. Over time it became a cherished dish across the island for holiday meals.
It’s the ultimate savory experience, pairing several umami-rich dishes that fuse together in the banana leaf while baking. Labor-intensive for us, but easy for you to heat and serve for a holiday meal! If you have other holiday plans, they can also be frozen and cooked at a later date.
