SRI LANKAN HOPPER (APPA) MADE IN AN OUTDOOR SETTING - ENJOY
Sri Lankan Appa (Hoppers)
A quick description of this dish for those members who may not know what a Appa / Hopper is:
... Hoppers -Another food native to Sri Lanka, served mainly for breakfast or dinner and often accompanied by lunu miris, a mix of red onions and spices. Hoppers are made from a fermented batter of rice flour, coconut milk and a dash of palm toddy, which lends a sour flavor and fermentation ability. If toddy is not available, yeast is often used. The batter is left to rise, then cooked in a hemispherical wok-like pan. There are many types of hoppers including egg hoppers, milk hoppers, string hoppers, and sweeter varieties like vandu appa and pani appa.
