What is an egg hopper?
An egg hopper is a bowl-shaped Sri Lankan pancake.
It is traditionally made using a fermented rice and coconut milk batter.
The hopper is cooked in a small, rounded pan.
The batter becomes thin around the edges and thicker towards the centre.
An egg is then cracked into the centre during cooking.
The result is a crispy-edged hopper with a soft cooked egg.
Egg hoppers can be enjoyed with different accompaniments.
These might include sambols, curries or other Sri Lankan dishes.
The combination of textures makes egg hoppers particularly enjoyable.
They are also quite different from many familiar Western breakfast dishes.
