Sri Lanka’s favourite street food - packs of punch of flavours and textures in each bite. Legend has it a roti seller was visited by a few hungry tourists just when was closing his roadside stall. So he tossed together leftover scraps of roti, chicken curry, eggs, veggies; basically all the works and created what is today, one of Sri Lanka’s most famous and loved dishes! It’s a plus that the sound of metal spatulas chopping up Kottu Roti on hot pans on the streets of Sri Lanka is so musical! I’m sure you guys will agree - Great food always has a great story around it. #WorldCricEAT #CWC19 #AFGvSLKOTTU ROTIIngredients1½ cups refined flourSalt to taste3 tsps oil + for soaking2 tsps butter1 large onion, sliced½ medium leaks, thinly sliced1 medium carrot, thinly shredded2 tbsps tomato puree¼ tsp red chilli powderA pinch of turmeric powder2 tsps curry powderCrushed black peppercorns to tasteSalt to taste2 eggs¾ cup roasted chicken, shredded2 tbsps ready-made gravyCoriander sprig for garnishLemon wedge to serveMethod1.
