Welcome to Hop into Flavor: 104 Recipes for Sri Lankan Hoppers - your primer guide to experiencing the rich and flavorful delights of this beloved Sri Lankan dish.

Hoppers are an integral part of Sri Lankan cuisine. They are rice flour based pancakes or bowls, cooked on the sides of a clay or metal bowl-shaped steam cooker, called an appa. Hoppers are cooked with coconut milk and sweetened with jaggery, and can be flavored with spices such as cardamom and pandanus. They are usually served for breakfast or dinner, and can also be found at street stalls and restaurants.

In this cookbook, you will beeline your way into the world of flavor that Sri Lankan hoppers offer! We'll be giving you a variety of recipes, so that you can customize each hopper to suit your own taste. Choose to make a lacy dosa, incorporate lentils for a nutritious meal, or turn up the heat with chilli. You can even top the hoppers with sugar syrup for a sweet treat!

But first, let us tell you the basics of hoppers. We'll give you step-by-step instructions for kneading, cooking, and topping the hoppers. We'll also give a brief introduction to the traditional tools used for making hoppers, such as the appa, popcorn, and wok. Then, you'll be ready to jump into the recipes!

You can gather the ingredients for these dishes at your local Asian supermarket. All the ingredients are easily accessible and affordable. And with a few basic pantry items, you can even make hoppers from scratch!

Now hop into the chapter devoted to recipes. We have a wonderful selection of savory and sweet hoppers to try.
