Egg hopper, or “biththara appa,” is a popular Sri Lankan dish with a crispy, bowl-shaped rice flour pancake and a soft, runny egg in the center.
Hoppers have been a part of Sri Lankan cuisine for centuries, influenced by South Indian cooking traditions. They have a slightly crispy edge and a soft, spongy middle, with a mild, slightly sweet coconut flavor. The egg adds richness, making it a perfect mix of crispy and creamy textures. 
Often enjoyed with spicy sambols or curries, egg hoppers are a delicious and satisfying meal, perfect for breakfast or dinner.
