This month’s recipe is Sri Lankan lamprais (which translates as ‘lump rice’), a meal of rice and various side dishes baked inside a banana leaf and eaten by the Burgher community of Sri Lanka. The rice is the centrepiece of the meal and is cooked with turmeric, cinnamon and lemongrass. On the side is a lamprais curry made with toasted Sri Lankan curry powder, a sweet and sour dish of deep-fried aubergine and onion in a tamarind sauce, a chilli sauce known as lunu miris and a tangy cucumber and coconut salad. Finally, we've got a speedy version of vadai, a popular snack in both Sri Lanka and India made of soaked ground lentils.
