About Hoppers

Hoppers are a traditional dish from Sri Lankan and South Indian cuisine, known for their distinct bowl-shaped appearance and delicate texture. Made from a fermented batter of rice flour and coconut milk, hoppers are typically cooked in small wok-like pans. The fermentation process gives them a light, airy quality and tangy flavor. Often served with savory accompaniments such as sambols, curries, or a runny egg cooked into the base, they are versatile and packed with flavor. The rice and coconut base offer energy and essential nutrients, while the fermentation contributes to easier digestion and gut health. However, hoppers can be calorie-dense due to the coconut milk and oils used. Eaten in moderation, they provide a wholesome carb source, but pairing with lean proteins and vegetables can make them a balanced addition to your meal. Hoppers are celebrated for their unique taste and role in traditional dining.
