🇱🇰 Sri Lanka recipe
Kottu Roti
Kottu roti is Sri Lanka's most famous street food, born in the roadside stalls of Batticaloa and now found in every corner of the island. The unmistakable rhythmic clanging of metal blades chopping roti on a hot griddle is the soundtrack of Sri Lankan evenings. Torn pieces of godamba roti are stir-fried at high heat with vegetables, eggs, meat, and a blend of spices, creating a dish that is simultaneously crispy, chewy, and packed with flavor.
