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 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...

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.
