Kottu Roti is a dish that needs no introduction to anyone familiar with Sri Lankan cuisine. Often described as “Sri Lanka’s comfort food,” this hearty dish is made by stir-frying chopped roti bread with vegetables, eggs, and spices. At Ceylon Spicy Foods, our head chef, Rajika, has added her signature twist to this classic, creating a version that’s as innovative as it is delicious.
What Makes Kottu Roti Special?
Kottu Roti is more than just a dish—it’s a symphony of flavors and textures. The soft pieces of roti soak up the spices and sauces, while the vegetables add crunch and the eggs tie everything together. It’s a dish that’s satisfying, versatile, and perfect for any occasion.
