👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Tear or cut the godhamba roti into small pieces. Set aside.
💡 Consigli Professionali: If using homemade roti, ensure they are slightly cooled for easier cutting. - 2
Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large skillet or flat griddle over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion, green chilies, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- 3
Add the chopped tomatoes and curry leaves (if using). Cook until the tomatoes soften, about 2-3 minutes.

Push the vegetable mixture to one side of the pan. Add the remaining 2 tbsp of oil to the empty side. Crack the eggs into the oiled space and scramble them. Once cooked, mix them with the vegetable mixture.
💡 Consigli Professionali: You can also fry the eggs separately and then chop them into the mixture. - 5
Add the cooked chicken or beef (if using) to the pan. Stir in the turmeric powder, chili powder, and salt. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Add the torn roti pieces to the pan. Stir and toss everything together vigorously, ensuring the roti pieces are well coated with the spices and other ingredients. Continue to cook and stir for about 5-7 minutes, until the roti is heated through and slightly crispy.
💡 Consigli Professionali: The 'chopping' sound is characteristic of kottu roti preparation; use two spatulas to mimic this action. - 7
Season with freshly ground black pepper and adjust salt if needed. Serve hot.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Often served with a side of spicy gravy or sambol.
