Sri Lankan Street Food: Egg Hoppers by "Hop & Roll" + A Taste Test at Kerb Kings Cross, London.

✓ We have until now not seen Sri Lankan Hoppers being served up on the streets of London, we've heard that they are very hard to make.
We have occasionally seen them on the menu in Sri Lankan restaurants on Ealing Road in Wembley but haven't as yet seen anyone making them on the streets of London, so it's a real treat to come across these ladies making the hoppers fresh to order.
If you fancy making hoppers at home, here's a link to the Hop & Roll "Hopper Making Kits": hopandroll.myshopify.com/coll...
Here's tags to Hop & Roll's various social media pages:

Menu includes Egg hoppers served with Seeni Sambol, Pol Sambol & Devilled potatoes and extras include non-veg rolls.
This type of batter is fermented fermented for about 7 hours which gives that yeasty tanginess.
Devilled potatoes are spiced Mashed Potato
Once the hopper is made its served with a coconut Sambal, a Tamarind sauce and a Tomato, Onion & Tamarind Relish.
Made differently to a Masala Dosa, instead of a griddle, mini bowl shaped pans are used
The Hop & Roll team are "street food troubadours" so if you want to know where they will be next, look out for messages of their schedule on their social media pages or you could message them via their various social media pages:

A special thank you to Rosh & all of the Hop & Roll team who very much welcomed us and graciously allowed us a privileged glimpse into their street kitchen to do the videoing even though they were extraordinarily busy.
This video was recorded on Wednesday 6th November 2019 at the "Weekly Kings Cross Wednesday Food Market" Granary Square, (located very close to the Camden Regents Canal).

Almost nearly 3 decades ago a gentleman who visited my father kitchen asked whether he likes to comes to Holland to open a hopper restaurant and making other srilankans dishes. But my father refused as he can't leave the family he was a ordinary village man and scared to go to abroad. When we grew up he proudly says about this incident and worry sometime he missed a good chance.we used to tease him.he was a best cook and cooked many high level people in sri lanka.these girls remaining me my father's hard work he just passed away recently. I wish u girls must get lots of customers and become more famous for ur hard work .

Srilankan food is not easy to find abroad, so proud of these girls this isn’t an easy job.👏👏👏

[@yaathum-oore-yaavarum-kelir]

That's true. But it doesn't apply for UK esspecially not for London. You will find a lot of sri lankan food in London. Eventhough there are also sri lankan restaurants in Paris, I will say that in europe London is the city, where you can find everything.

Hi, this is called appam. The batter is glutenous rice soaked over night and then ground to fine paste then added coconut milk. Then the paste is left over night to ferment. Hot skillet the batter poured and it's how appam is made.😂😀👍

[@princymala1953]

Ideally you should have the mixture of all and piece of egg hopper with the crusty piece of hopper. Next time when you visit ask them to make an additional plain hopper and have it with other curries, sambols and with broken egg on the hopper. You will see the difference. Once the egg hopper is empty just roll it at eat, that how generally we do it when your done with the Sri Lanka way enjoying eating hoppers ❤️👍🇱🇰 Enjoy the hoppers... It will be more awesome and exciting if you can have a ceylon blend plain tea cup at the end you will feel the taste running in your veins...🤣🤣

[@eviepatricia2623]

Am usually travelling via Kings X but never had a chance to taste that hopper thing. Wanna test it when I travel to King X again. It seems really delicious.

Wow best wishes from sri lanka❤

It’s very delicious, and made for very difficult. In Correct consistency

[@NoobTube4148]

Hoppers are definitely less sour and more sweeter than dosa batter. Both are good though. Also a nice Jaffna thosai is better than the Indian one, but then I’m biased coz I’m Sri Lankan. Lol
