Hoppers
These coconut-laced, rice flour pancakes filled with curry and topped with the sweet-spicy sambol and fruity chutney are perfect for a Sri Lankan feast
In a pan, heat the cider vinegar and caster sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Add the chopped rhubarb, dates, ginger and cardamom pod and cook for 15-20 mins or until the rhubarb has broken down and the liquid has reduced to a thick chutney. Season with salt and serve with the hoppers, cauliflower curry and leek seeni sambol (see goes well with, right). Will keep in a sterilised jar for three months in a cool, dark place.
