Creating the perfect Lamprais is truly an art, a labour of love.

Each component contributes to the delightful blend of sweet, sour, umami, and earthy flavours that make Lamprais so irresistible.

𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒆'𝒔 𝒂 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒊𝒔, 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒂𝒎𝒐𝒖𝒔 “𝑺𝒓𝒊 𝑳𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒂𝒏 𝑳𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒔” 𝒘𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆;

▪️It all starts with the spiced chicken stock, where Sri Lankan spices, aromats, ghee, and chicken bones are slow cooked for hours to infuse the rice with unmatched flavour.

▪️The rice - Keeri Samba, is cooked in this spiced chicken stock to achieve a perfect plumpness and separation of grains.

▪️Seeni Sambol- a delightful combination of sweet and spicy caramelized onions with a jaggery-like sweetness and complex heat that truly sets it apart.

▪️Twice-cooked ash plantain -offers an additional layer of texture with its curry made from spices and thick coconut milk.

▪️Prawn blachan – made with salted, dried shrimps roasted with chilli, coconut and other spices gives a spicy, salty, and a pungent kick.

▪️Protein of your choice-the options of;
- Kalu Pol Pork curry (the term kalu pol means dry roasted coconut with raw rice, cinnamon, cardamom and other aromatics grinded into a fine powder. This is the secret ingredient of this curry.)

- Chicken Curry - first the gravy is made using Lankan Spices and then added the boneless chicken and simmered until it’s golden rich in colour. It’s spicy, slightly tangy, aromatic and so so good.

▪️ Eggplant moju - adds a tangy punch. vinegar, sugar, salt, and spices to bring out the best of the eggplant’s flavour.

▪️And finally, the delightful Cutlets (yes, you get two!) - These are little crumbed tuna, boiled potato, onion and other ingredients mixed together and made to balls -deep fried.

▪️Once the lamprais is assembled within the banana leaf, it is baked, adding a subtle yet distinct aroma to the dish as a whole.

The aroma of a freshly opened Lamprais truly speaks warmth, joy, and nostalgia. This iconic dish resonates with flavour & utmost love!

So, if you’re looking for a hearty homemade lamprais to incorporate into your Sunday plans, drop us a message!

Love,
Shey

Crafting a lamprais is certainly no walk in the park. It’s not the intricacy of the recipe that is challenging, but rather the multiple components that need careful preparation. To simplify the process, I typically plan by preparing some of the side dishes in advance. This method not only saves time but also allows the flavors to develop and strengthen for a more delicious outcome.

If you’re looking for a touch of home 🇱🇰 in Melbourne, feel free to contact me for a delicious lamprais ✌️

Thank you for the overwhelming support I never imagined over these few weeks, I’m truly grateful to every one of you for ordering and spreading the love ❤️🙌

Super stoked to be featured by
Beyond grateful to have been recognized by a platform as one of the best places to have lamprais.
We started when the pandemic started in 2020, where a lot of people lost jobs and going through many hardships to support families in their daily chores.
That’s when I wanted to step in to support people who have lost jobs and started their own small businesses without giving up on life. Ammi and I established lamprais by shey with a mission to source all ingredients through small business owners over giant players in the market because we wanted to help them in our little way. From banana leaves to spices to vegetables and even our delivery team.
We have achieved so much since day one, personally, business wise and ofcourse spiritually. Non of this is possible without YOU!
Everyday is a learning day for us. Your feedback, constructive criticisms are always taken very seriously from day one and we acted upon them immediately.

Thank you for the trust, enjoying our meals, spreading the good and supporting other small businesses through ours.

This ones for you! 😘

~ From local homes to your home 🇱🇰

Keeping true to our mission, we are sourcing all ingredients through small/ home based businesses in order to extend our support in a tiny little way.
We use clay pots in almost all our cooking, mostly to circulate the steam throughout the cooking process which enhances the aroma & flavour while retaining the natural moisture. Also, it gets a deep concentration than cooking with aluminium or any other.

We buy all our clay pots and cane watti (for Lankan bites platter) from local home manufacturer based in Kaduwela area.

When you buy from you are not only getting a delicious home cooked meal, but also helping a bunch of families to put food on their table.

THANK YOU for your continuous support in making our mission and dream a reality in these difficult times!

Buy local and support small vendors whenever you can 🙏

Stay safe! ❤️
