Sri Lankan Hopper, known locally as "appa," is a traditional dish from Sri Lankan cuisine, celebrated for its unique combination of flavor and texture. This bowl-shaped pancake is made primarily from fermented rice flour and coconut milk, giving it a light, crispy edge and soft, fluffy center. Often served with a cracked egg in the middle or accompanied by spicy sambols and curries, hoppers are a versatile dish enjoyed at breakfast or dinner. Nutritionally, hoppers are gluten-free, providing a source of energy from carbohydrates, while coconut milk adds a dose of healthy fats. However, their healthiness depends on portion size and accompaniments, as consuming them with rich or fried sides may increase saturated fat and sodium intake. This iconic dish showcases the rich culinary heritage of Sri Lanka and offers a delicious option for those eager to explore Southeast Asian flavors.
