If you’ve done the prep work as mentioned above, all you need is about 45 minutes to make the parathas and assemble the ingredients in a wok. We don’t traditionally make this with bread.

How to make Sri Lankan kothu roti
Skip the optional eggs for a vegetarian version. This won’t affect the taste of the dish. Or use ghee and butter to enhance the flavor. If you’re using leftover parotta or laccha paratha, moisten it with little water to soften it. If you are using leftover curry, reduce the liquid by heating it up on a stovetop or in the microwave.

Follow the recipe instruction to cook the premade parotta. Even Sri Lankan or Indian restaurants should have plain parathas. If everything else fails, make your own using my recipe mentioned above. If you are using chicken breast, make sure to cut them into smaller cubes. Allrecipes is part of the Dotdash Meredith publishing family.

You might try kothu roti at least once in your lifetime. But, have you ever think about how to make kothu roti at home? If yes, you are in the right place and I’m going to show you how to make kothu roti at home in an easy and quick way. Turn roti over and repeat on other side. Cook the remaining roti then allow to cool before chopping into strips so that the roti looks like shredded cabbage.
Turn down the heat to low and mix well to coat the parotta with the masala. This should give you 2½ cups of shredded parotta. If you’re using frozen parotta, thaw it first. Cook it as per instructions and then proceed to shred it. Add a little salt to the eggs and whisk them for 2 or 3 minutes.
Keep mixing until the dough is formed and not sticky. Add another 1 tbsp oil and knead until smooth. Divide the dough into 8 balls and flatten each ball a bit and lightly brush it with oil. Keep it in the same bowl, covered, for about 2 hours. Take each ball, roll it between your palms or on a board and shape it into a spiral as seen in the picture. Flatten this spiral using a rolling pin and cook both sides on a pre-heated skillet until brown spots appear.
Tortillas will be a heavier in Kottu compared to the roti, so having less liquid will make it less sticky. As it absorbs more liquid, it will tend to weigh down more. You can try drying the cut up tortillas in the oven for a few minutes before adding them next time, or reducing more of the liquid.
