Hoppers: The Cookbook by Karan Gokani

Karan Gokani opened his first Hoppers restaurant in Soho in 2015, inspired by the toddy-shops and streetside food shacks of Sri Lanka and South India, which he’d fallen in love with while travelling around the subcontinent. In the wake of its success, two more Hoppers branches have since opened in London. Hoppers: The Cookbook is a collection of Karan’s favourite recipes from the restaurant, combined with stories inspired by the people he met on his travels. Cooking over fire is a huge part of the region’s food cultures, and many of these incredibly flavoursome recipes are ideal for the EGG. Look out for mutton rolls, chettinad chicken bites, dosas, lamb kari and brinjal moju.
