Sri Lankan hoppers are a popular and iconic dish made from a fermented batter of rice flour, coconut milk, and a hint of sugar, creating a slightly tangy flavor with a touch of sweetness. Cooked in a small, bowl-shaped pan, hoppers develop a crispy, lace-like edge with a soft, spongy center, similar in texture to a crêpe. This unique shape makes them perfect for holding various toppings and fillings.
Hoppers are often enjoyed for breakfast or dinner and are typically served with a variety of accompaniments like sambols, curries, or a fried egg cooked right into the center of the hopper. The crispy edges and soft center provide a delightful contrast in texture, making hoppers a versatile and satisfying dish that captures the vibrant flavors of Sri Lankan cuisine.
Are these basically the same thing as Indian Appam?? Maybe.
