Popular Foods

Hoppers, also known as appam, are a staple breakfast item in Sri Lanka. These thin, pancake-like crepes are made from fermented rice flour batter and coconut milk, giving them a unique texture and flavor. They are typically eaten savory, often accompanied by spicy dahl curry, fish or chicken fillings, and a side of lunu miris - a tangy chili sauce.

Kottu roti is a popular street food found all over Sri Lanka. It consists of flattened wheat dough, cooked on a griddle until crispy, then cut into strips. The dish is typically prepared by stir-frying the cut roti with spices, vegetables, and your choice of meat (such as chicken, beef, or fish) or made vegetarian. This hearty and filling meal is known for its bold flavors and satisfying textures.

String Hoppers, also known as "hoppers string," are another popular dish in Sri Lankan cuisine. Made from fermented coconut milk and rice flour batter, these noodle-like strands of hoppers are thin and delicate. They are usually served as a snack or light meal, accompanied by various curries, lunu miris, and sometimes with a sprinkling of sugar and grated coconut for a sweet twist.
