Kottoo Roti

Kottu Roti

The king of Sri Lankan street foods

Koththu Roti (Or sometime spelt as Kottoo, Kothu and Kottu) stands out as one of Sri Lanka’s most beloved and iconic street foods. This popular dish consists of shredded flatbread, known as roti, stir-fried with an array of flavorful ingredients on a flat griddle. The rhythmic clashing of metal blades against the hot griddle, a distinctive feature of its preparation, has become synonymous with the bustling street food scene in Sri Lanka. The dish often includes a mix of vegetables, eggs, meat (such as chicken, beef, mutton or fish), and an assortment of aromatic spices. Koththu Roti is typically served with a side of spicy curry sauce, adding an extra layer of flavour to the already fragrant and hearty concoction. This dynamic street food not only captivates the taste buds with its diverse textures and bold spices but also provides a vibrant sensory experience that reflects the lively spirit of Sri Lankan street food culture.
