Cane String Hopper Tray

Lavariya is a large string hopper that is made out of rice flour and is considered to be quite a popular and traditional Sri Lankan sweet dish that can be enjoyed at breakfast or even along with a cup of tea during anytime of the day. The basic explanation would be a wrapped string hopper with caramelized coconut. The large string hopper that you need to make Lavariya is made with the aid of a string hopper tray also known as a string hopper plate or deck while the mixture is strained on to it with a string hopper maker to be steamed.

These string hopper trays have been made using a mix of cane and bamboo strips making it eco friendly and non-toxic considering the various plastic brands that are available nowadays. Known as Idiappa Thattu in Sinhalese, this product is 100% Sri Lankan keeping tradition and the love for food under one platform.
