I grew up with my grandmother home when I was kid.I remember very well that grandmother made roti every morning.made it with different flavors.that was the best time of my life.♥️🥲

Coconut roti ingredients

✅️Flour

I use bread flour for this.If you don't have bread flour.you can add all purpose flour.

If you follow diet meal plan or if you have diabetes.you can use brown flour, kurakkan flour, oats flour or rice flour for this.

✅️Coconut

You can use fresh grated coconut for this.In sri lanaka,we can easily find fresh coconuts.also Coconut milk is often used in Sri Lankan dishes.those who live outside of Sri Lanka can't find fresh coconuts.as a solution to that,you can use dessicated coconut for making roti.

✅️Onion

Onion is used to flavor the roti. You can make this without onion,it is not necessary.if you add onion to this, you can add sweet onion, red onion and shallots.

✅️Green chilli

Green chillies are added to the roti to increase the spiciness. In Sri Lanka we like to eat a spicy food. If you are not a spicy eater, you can make it without green chili.

✅️Carrot

Others don't add carrots to the roti, but I add some chopped carrots to this.then the taste will increase.🤤

✅️Leeks

 

This also increases the taste like the carrot.take the green part of leeks for this.

✅️Curry leaves

My favorite thing is that curry leaves.add flavor and aroma to the roti.there are many nutrients of curry leaves.

Benefits of curry leaves

Follow this few tips

1.Get fresh grated coconut.Coconut is definitely needed to make the roti. Coconut gives good taste and softness to the roti. If you make this without coconut, the roti will be very tough.

2.If you add coconut water instead of water to make the roti, the taste will increase even more.

3.Once the dough is made, it should be firm without the soft so that we can roll it by hand.

4.Do not add the all water at the time.add a little by little and mix them in a circule motion to get large lumps.and then you can make it to a ball.
