I am so excited to tell you that I have a recipe for Sri Lankan hoppers coming up this weekend. But I felt that hopper pans themselves are so beautiful and unique that they should be spotlighted in a perfect piece installment. First, hoppers are a sort of rice flour crepe, sometimes made with an egg in the centre and usually eaten for breakfast. They are made by pouring batter into a heated, oiled pan but unlike flat pancakes, they are concave and crispy on the edges–achieved by making them in hopper pans. Melt the coconut oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Add the curry leaves and cook, stirring, for a minute or so until the leaves are fried. Add the onion, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, for six to seven minutes until the onion has softened. Lightly season with salt and pepper.

As soon as you ladle the batter into the pan, you must tilt it and swirl the batter around so it coats the whole pan. You must add the egg as soon as the batter has been added and is coating the whole pan; you can add a whole egg or a mixed egg. An hour before you intend to cook and serve the hoppers, add the fizzy water (soda water) and whisk to thin the batter - it will be similar to a pancake or crepe batter. Season to taste with salt. To make the curry powder, place the curry leaves in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook gently for about two minutes. Reduce the heat a little and cook for another one to two minutes until they are dry and toasted, but not browned. Eggs can be exciting – they are not just for boiling and scrambling, you can use them in interesting dishes that are innovative and tasty

Toast the remaining ingredients in a separate dry saucepan for 12–14 minutes, stirring occasionally until the leaves are dry and brittle. Leave to cool completely before grinding to a fine powder in a blender or spice grinder.

The ultimate Sri Lankan street food that everyone loves. I’ve never met a person who doesn’t like these crispy coconutty Sri Lankan hoppers. I have no idea why these are called Hoppers. Maybe because these are too good that you would jump for joy when you taste. lol. I don’t know.. But all I can tell you is that these crispy tangy coconutty goodies are so amazing, I’m sure you’re going to fall in love with these just as I have. Carefully ease it out with a palette knife, or with the metal implement that comes with the hopper pans, and keep warm whilst you continue to make more hoppers with the remaining batter and eggs. You can also add lightly mixed eggs instead of a whole egg. In a separate bowl, combine the yeast and sugar with 2 tablespoons tepid water. Once dissolved, add to the hopper batter and mix well. Cover and leave to ferment for 6–7 hours in a warm place until the batter becomes frothy and has a slightly sweet aroma.
