The king of Sri Lankan street food, kottu seems like an easy enough type of food to make – but it’s rarely made at home. With its perfect balance of flavours, this dish isn’t only found in street vendor stalls, but even at any hotel in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Kottu is a combination of roti, vegetables, spices and a meat of your choice! What’s most intriguing about kottu is the manner in which it is made – on a hot cooking surface with two rectangular knives chopping the roti.
