An ode to one of my favourite foods

A yummy kottu dish (Photo by author)

A street food, A commoner’s food, A mix of veggies, bits of chicken, Pieces of flatbread, Egg, and whatnot, Sprinkled with cheese, Or a spicy curry, Maybe a little bone thrown in by mistake, Even if it makes you gulp asamodagam, Oh kottu — I miss you so! So if you’ve got a bit of veggie, About to go bad, Make a kottu roti- I promise it will be rad!

Kottu roti (basically meaning stir-fried chopped flatbread) is a famous dish in my home country and other Asian countries. Though this dish is available in Singapore, it’s not quite the same as what I had in Sri Lanka. Therefore, I miss it so much — particularly the “cheese kottu”. Once I was so desperate that I bought a normal chicken kottu and sprinkled cheese on it 😂. The reference to asamodagam (gripe water) is mentioned because the dish can be a bit unsettling to the stomach depending on the quality of the ingredients, food hygiene practices etc 😜.

💜 hop down this rabbit hole!
