Chicken Pol Roti Kottu

 


Pol roti kottu is a great homemade alternative when you need to sate those street food cravings without resorting to eating out.


For the pol roti:

3 cups flour

1 cup grated coconut

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

3 tbsp oil

1/2 cup water 

Combine all the ingredients to make a soft dough. Separate into 3 big balls. Cover and leave aside to rest. 

Roll out to make thick rotis and fry in a large flat pan. Cool and cut into square bite-sized pieces.


For the kottu:

1 large onion, chopped 

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 inch ginger, minced

Curry leaves

Pandan

1/2 cup tomatoes, chopped

3 green chillies, chopped

1 tbsp chillie flakes

1 egg

3 tbsp butter

2 cups chicken curry made with thick coconut milk gravy

Fry the onion, garlic, ginger, tomatoes, curry leaves, pandan, green chillies, and chillie flakes in the butter. Beat the egg and add it into the pan along with half a cup of chicken curry gravy to make a sort of scramble slurry. 

Add the roti pieces and mix well so each piece is coated. Add the rest of the chicken curry and gravy, and mix well. Add salt to taste and serve hot.
