Being an island nation, Sri Lanka is endowed with many Coconut palms and ideally, the coconut has been a staple in many homes. The coconut roti is also an easy to prepare meal that is the result of a mix of freshly grated coconut, wheat/ Rice/ Kurakkan (a strong flavoured brown millet) and a little bit of oil. You can go the extra mile by adding chopped ingredients such as onions, green Chillies, Curry Leaves etc while a mouthwatering Maldive fish and onion sambal or even a spciy curry would be a great accompaniment. The aroma of the roti cooked on a hot griddle on both sides is always a welcome sign that you are in for a true Sri Lankan feast.
