Hoppers are the Sri Lankan version of a slightly more upright pancake. Made with the same batter as you would for a pancake with the addition of the island's best coconut milk, the batter is poured and spread across a small wok shaped pan, with a little bit left at the base of the pan. Once the edges look light brown and crispy, your hopper is ready to eat! The hopper can be eaten as it is or with the addition of an egg to the base of it. Hoppers are generally served with a handful of spicy onion salad, locally known as lunu miris and some curry. In Tangalle, resorts generally have a live cooking station at their buffets which serve up fresh hoppers to diners.
