White Rice Flour 500g
Mauripan Low Sugar Yeast 05g
Coconut Milk 300g
Sugar 10g
Salt 10g
Coconut Milk 120g
Sesame Oil 05g
Egg 01 Nos.
Here’s how to:
1. Mix white rice flour, Mauripan low sugar yeast, coconut milk and sugar for 3-4 minutes with a wooden spoon, in a glass bowl with an air tight lid.
2. Leave above contents to rest for 1 hour, closed with the air tight lid.
3. Add salt, coconut milk, sesame oil and egg to the above batter and mix until you achieve the right consistency.

The Sri Lankan style is to consume hoppers with a nice spicy sambol, whilst some enjoy it with a hot meat curry too. However you wish to have it, enjoy the moment!
The yeast plays a major role in fermenting the batter and with the Mauripan yeast you need not leave the batter over night. Get ready for a Hopper night! The Mauripan 60g sachet box is widely available at Keells, Cargills, Glomark and Arpico.
