Hoppers, or “Appa” in Sinhala, are a well-known Sri Lankan dish consisting of a fermented batter of rice flour and coconut milk, cooked in a small, curved pan to create a crispy, bowl-shaped pancake. They are generally eaten for breakfast or dinner and come in many forms, including plain hoppers, egg hoppers (with an egg cracked into the center), and milk hoppers. Hoppers are used to complement pungent sambols like lunu miris, pol sambol, or a curry accompaniment. Hoppers’ crunchy outside and soft, slightly tangy center make them a popular street snack and home delicacy.
