Good morning to all my dear Hive friends. Kottu Roti is one of the most beloved street foods in Sri Lanka, famous for the rhythmic clanging sounds made while preparing it on heated iron plates. This dish, made with shredded godamba roti, chicken, vegetables, eggs, and a blend of aromatic spices, is hearty and full of flavor. It beautifully represents the vibrant, comforting, and diverse spirit of Sri Lankan cuisine.

Today, I prepared it at home. Now, shredded godamba roti can easily be purchased from supermarkets. Along with that, spices, meat, and eggs can be combined to make this delicious dish. Let’s see how it is prepared.
