Kothu Roti

Chicken Kothu Roti

Kothu Roti is Sri Lankan stir fry of meat curry, veggies and roti bread. It's simple but delicious. You can buy some roti or parotha bread if  your in a hurry. But making roti is fun so if you have spare time then its the way to go!(See this recipe if you want to make it yourself)

Cooking Time
Roti - 40 min (+ 2-3 hours standing time)
Meat Curry - 20 min
Kothu Roti - 30 min


Ingredients (Serves 4)
6 Roti's chopped up roughly (See this recipe)
2-3 Cups Meat Curry (I will put links up to a chicken/lamb curry eventually, or you can skip it for a vegetarian meal)

1/2 tomato diced
1  carrot julienned or grated
1 cup cabbage roughly cut
1 large green chilli sliced
2 eggs

Cumin seeds


Recipe
1. Fry Mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves and chilli in a wok on low-med heat.
2. Once mustard seeds start popping, turn heat up to medium-high and add onions.  Mix in chilli powder to taste at this stage
3. Once onions soften, add tomatoes and cook until they soften.
4. Add carrot and cabbage and stir fry for 2 min
5. Lower heat to medium and add eggs.
