Three Types of Sri Lankan Hoppers (Appam) in Colombo

Three Types of Hoppers, or Appam by Taste of Asia, Colombo, Sri Lanka Hoppers, also known as "appam" are one of the most ubiquitous dishes in Sri Lankan cuisine. At its simplest form a hopper is a very thin and crispy crepe-like pancake made from rice flour and coconut milk that is cooked in a deep pan. The resulting bowl-shaped pancake is then filled with a variety of ingredients, rolled up, and eaten like a burrito. I visited Taste of Asia in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, to try three different types of traditional hoppers. hopper with sambol and potato curry
