Description
Kottu roti is a traditional Sri Lankan dish made by shredding roti and stir-frying it with vegetables, meat, and spices.
Technical
The high heat and friction from shredding and stir-frying the roti and vegetables trigger the Maillard reaction, producing new flavor compounds and browning. The mixture of oil, spices, and sauces creates an emulsion, a mixture of two or more liquids that don't normally mix.
