Also called Kottu roti, this dish traces its origins to the Tamil community in Sri Lanka. Easily available via street food vendors and local restaurants, Kottu is a dinner-time favourite for those who are heading out for a night out on the town or grabbing a meal on their way home from work. Made using strips of Godamba Roti, the wheat flour particles are mixed into a meat, veggie and sauce infusion with the aid of two metal plates that drum the ingredients together creating quite a ruckus. As a street food staple, Kottu is spicy and comes in a variety of flavours with fish, egg, chicken, and even cheese kottu being favourites among locals. Dolphin Kottu is another local favourite – and no, it's not made using dolphins! No one's exactly sure why this dish is called that; marketing gimmick or not, it is a name that's got stuck with this dish, which is an extra-spicy rendition of the original kottu dish.
