Description

Chopped flatbread mixed and mashed together with chicken and vegetables and lots of aromatic spices, this chicken kottu roti recipe is as delicious as it is comforting, and it also works splendidly as an anti-hangover meal!

Different Sri Lankan Kottu Roti options
While Chicken Kottu Roti is my absolute favourite (and probably most popular), there are different versions of this kottu that you can make. So you can adapt this recipe to also make any of the following.

  • Roast Chicken Kottu roti (same as the curried chicken kottu, but without the curry and made with roast chicken instead)
  • Vegetarian Kottu roti (or vegetable kottu)
  • Egg Kottu roti
  • Cheese Kottu roti
  • Chicken and Cheese Kottu roti
  • Beef Kottu roti
Cheese kottu is a more recent addition to the repertoire. I passed up the opportunity to try it when I had the chance, because really, nothing could beat a classic chicken kottu, with a side of spicy curry gravy. But I’ve been told that it’s quite delicious and catching on. If you’d like to try chicken and cheese kottu, you can easily add 1 cup of shredded cheese to this recipe.

What’s even more fun and unique about Kottu Roti is that this dish has gained in popularity as a great antidote to hangovers! The carbs, the protein, the spices and the calories will definitely help settle your stomach and keep the nausea at bay.
