Coconut Roti

Sri Lankan Coconut Roti is a traditional, flavorful flatbread made with coconut, flour, and a touch of spices. It is often enjoyed as a breakfast or snack, served with a variety of side dishes like sambol, curry, or even just a cup of tea. With its rich taste and soft texture, it's a beloved comfort food in Sri Lanka.

Ingredients:

2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup of grated coconut (fresh or desiccated)
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of sugar (optional)
1/2 cup of water (adjust as needed)
2 tablespoons of butter or margarine (optional for richness)

Recipe:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, grated coconut, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Mix in the butter or margarine until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Slowly add water, a little at a time, and knead into a smooth, soft dough.
Divide the dough into small balls and roll each into a flat circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat a flat griddle or pan over medium heat and cook the roti on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Serve hot with your favorite side dish or enjoy it as is with a cup of tea.
