Some of the best recipes in the world come from food you find made by street vendors. Kottu Roti is that kind of a dish. It's made from a Sri Lankan roti called "Godhamba roti" that is chopped and basically stir fried with vegetables and meat. Godhamba roti is a very thin roti made of dough that is soaked in oil. I love godhoma roti because it's thin and crispy, but it does take time and effort to make them correctly. My mother showed me this recipe for making a fast kottu roti with store bought flour tortillas. Now that's my kind of recipe...fast and easy. You can eat this dish just as it is or with a curry. We made our version simply with egg, but you can also add chicken, beef, pork or seafood if you wish.
Ingredients:
10-12 large flour tortillas
2-3 eggs beaten with salt and pepper to taste
1 medium onion sliced or chopped
10-20 curry leaves (optional)
1-2 pandan leaves (optional)
1 (1 inch) cinnamon stick
1 tsp cumin seeds
2-3 green chilies sliced
2 grated carrots
1 bunch of green onions sliced
1-2 cloves of garlic grated
1-2 inches of ginger grated
red chili flakes to taste
vegetables of choices: cabbage, mushrooms, peas, broccoli etc...
Note: I added some broccoli thinly julienne broccoli stems too
1/4 tsp of turmeric
salt to taste
butter or margarine as needed
Directions:

Then add the grated carrots and other vegetables to cook. I added


Note on cutting tortillas. You can cut them into 1 inch rectangular

Finally Taste for seasoning before serving. You can add salt and chili flakes as needed. We did not make this very spicy since we were eating it with a meat curry. If you are eating this without a curry you can adjust the heat level to your taste.

There is a Mexican dish called Migas that this dish sort of reminds me of. Migas is basically scrambled eggs with corn tortillas strips. We eat it all of the time! Add vegetables would make it a much healthier meal as well as a one pot meal. I love the use of flour tortillas in this dish and then tossing them tortilla pieces in the egg mixture before adding the vegetables. What a great dish!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting way to use tortillas. Your recipes always enlighten me.
ReplyDeleteRamona...what a unique dish! And a great 'fusion' recipe. But it looks like one of those dishes that you can't stop eating once you start! : )
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative. I would never think to do this yet it looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh this sounds good. I hope those pandan leaves aren't hard to find. Will add some chicken to this and let the feasting begin!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! It's so pretty too!
ReplyDeletePlease add the nutritional values for one serving.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Thanks for posting Ramona! I was looking for a kottu roti recipe that uses tortillas to make for my parents. Godhamba roti is delicious but too much effort. Can't wait to try this fake-out recipe out!!!!
