    Ingredients

    1 tsp yeast grnules
    2 tbsp + 1 tsp sugar
    1/4 tsp salt
    2/3 + 1/4 cups coconut cream
    2 cups rice flour


    Method

    Mix the yeast granules in 1 tsp sugar and the salt in half
    cup of warm water and leave for 15 minutes until frothy.

    Mix 2/3 cups of coconut cream and 1 cup of water. Put the
    rice flour into a large bowl and add the yeast mixture.

    Next add the diluted coconut cream, little at a time to make a
    batter like pancake batter. If more liquid is needed, add more
    water.

    Now cover the bowl with a wet cloth and leave for about eight
    hours in a warm place. The batter should rise to double the
    original amount.

    Finally before preparation, mix 1/4 cup coconut crean and 2 tbsp
    sugar and stir well. If more liquid is needed, add more
    water.

    Soak a small piece of cloth in oil and a saucer.

    Heat the pan(thachhiya) on medium. When hot rub the pan throughly
    with the oiled-cloth. Add about 3 tbsp of the batter to the pan and
    turn the pan so that the batter sticks to the sides of the pan.

    Cover and cook for about a minute under low-medium heat. Use
    a butter knife to loosen the edges of the hopper and serve hot.

    Note: If the hoppers difficult to remove from the pan, add
    a beaten egg to the batter and stir well. It is best to keep
    this pan solely for the purposes of making hoppers
