Lamprais or Lump Rice Sri Lankan Popular Dish

Lamprais commonly incorrectly written as “Lumprice”, “Lampraise” or “Lumprais” .
Lamprais is most probably the most elaborate dish I have ever prepared in my entire life. But it was totally worth it! The blend between the different flavors and textures
Lamprais was introduced to Sri Lanka by the Dutch colonists and it is derived from the Dutch word “lomprijst” (lump rice).
It consists of 5-7 dishes which are then mixed with the rice and steamed in banana leaves:
Ghee rice
Chicken curry
Brinjal moju
tuna cutlets
Deep-fried boiled eggs
Fried ash plantains
Chilli paste (Belachan)
Chicken curry
Start by marinating the chicken, Add all the powdered spices to the chicken, together with the ginger garlic paste and the tamarind and mix everything well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Add the onion and some salt and Sautee until translucent (5 minutes).
Add the chicken and cook everything for 20 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked. Add some water from time to time so that the chicken will not burn. It will release its own juices anyway, so add Coconut milk if required. Cover it and let it rest until all the other components are ready.

Deep fry the eggplant and Green Chillies (5 minutes). Remove from the pan .
