Coconut Roti | Pol Roti – Sri Lankan Cuisine

Last Updated on

Coconut roti or pol roti is eaten almost every day for
breakfast in Sri Lanka. Pol roti is made with freshly grated coconut, flour and
salt. It’s just like thick tortillas. For more variation, you can add onion,
chilies and wheat flour instead of plain flour which makes this recipe
healthier. 

This pol rotis are soft and full on flavor of coconut which adds the
richness and natural sweetness. Even you can store the leftover rotis for
another day.
