Product Information

It’s crucial to ensure these three elements are in perfect harmony, a balance we have gone through hundreds of trials to achieve.

The book is a freewheeling foray into the island nation’s food culture, with beautiful photographs shot on location in Sri Lanka, as well as favourite dishes from the restaurants themselves. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.

Through it, we hope to bring a little piece of our restaurants, Sri Lanka and southern India into your homes, no matter whether you’ve already visited Hoppers or not,” – Author Karan Gokani. While the exact history is somewhat ambiguous, the story goes that British settlers struggled with the pronunciation of appams and began referring to them as ‘hoppers’, a word that eventually stuck.

We’re sharing a few of our favourite summer recipes from Hoppers: The Cookbook that Karan’s been demo’ing at festivals around the island so you can enjoy a true Hoppers feast for yourself at home!The buriani we’ve developed at Hoppers takes inspiration from some of our favourite south Indian and Sri Lankan versions but follows the more traditional method of layering and steaming par-cooked rice over a rich meat curry as opposed to boiling raw rice in the curry. To me it’s much more than a cookbook, it’s the story of Hoppers told through imagery, recipes and personal memories. Love it, love it, want to cook everything, so I want to spend a week in the kitchen with Karan cooking!
