Hoppers: The Cookbook from the Cult London Restaurant: Recipes, Memories and Inspiration from Sri Lankan Homes, Streets and Beyond (Hardie Grant, 1)

Product Information

Serving up the best of Sri Lankan cooking, Hoppers: The Cookbook showcases signature recipes from the cult London restaurants, while also going beyond their four walls to explore the dishes, places and people that inspired them. It is accepted by you that Daunt Books has no control over additional charges in relation to customs clearance. Karan is a supremely talented chef – his beautifully curated selection of recipes will enliven your senses and transport you on a journey to Sri Lanka. The almost coffee-like dark roasted spice powder, balanced with the fat from the pork belly and smoky citrus from the goraka, are a match made in heaven.

Karan first cooked this dish at an event held at a friend’s pub; it was meant to be a Sri Lankan take on the classic Moules Frites. Love it, love it, want to cook everything, so I want to spend a week in the kitchen with Karan cooking! Wrapping food in banana leaves before steaming or baking is a very common trick and is very popular across India. 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. While we have taken care in preparing this summary and believe it is accurate, it is not a substitute for your reading the product packaging and label prior to use.

The book is an ode to Sri Lankans, their warmth, hospitality, love and, above all, a very personal and subjective story of their food through the Hoppers lens.

The buriani (or biryani in India) is one of those great dishes that’s both the ultimate one-pot comfort meal and a stunning centrepiece to any dinner party.

This dish of aromatic rice steamed over a rich curry is hugely popular in South Asia, with each region doing it slightly differently – be it the addition of potatoes, the variety of rice used, the spices that go into it or even the vessel it’s cooked in. Welcome to Hoppers, where the flavours, colours, aromas and sights transport you to the tropical warmth of Sri Lanka. A glorious celebration of Sri Lankan food adorned with stunning photography, Hoppers takes readers on an unforgettable journey through the island’s rich culinary traditions, serving up a host of exciting recipes developed at the renowned eponymous restaurant. This collection of Sri Lankan and South Indian recipes comes from a group of three London restaurants named for one of the region’s most distinctive dishes: a bowl-shaped pancake made from fermented rice and coconut batter. It’s an easy, well-balanced one-tray supper but equally impressive when served with some sides as an alternative Sunday roast.We use Google Analytics to see what pages are most visited, and where in the world visitors are visiting from.
