No one knows about the origins of this infamous dish in Sri Lanka, but many believe that it must have come from the Tamil community in the country. Pieces of roti are well infused with masalas of tomatoes and onions, and depending on your choice, they add meat, fish or egg. Thanks to the Sri Lankan spices, the taste gets doubled!
It's not only a street food dish. Even at a corporate function at a luxury property such as Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo, you may find one or two kottu stations. If you haven't tried out this dish, you should definitely do it soon.
