Pol Roti (Coconut Roti) image

A very Sri Lankan recipe for coconut roti. Very quick and easy and a meal in itself with a pat of butter and some onion sambol. Mainly eaten for breakfast but also for dinner. Don't overcook the roti or they will get hard and crispy. Serve hot.

Time 20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup grated fresh coconut
2 green chile peppers, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon chopped onion
⅔ cup cold water, or as needed
1 teaspoon oil, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Sift flour into a large bowl and mix in salt. Stir in coconut, chile peppers, and onion. Mix in water gradually until dough is soft and slightly sticky. Knead dough until it is smooth and leaves the side of the bowl, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Grease your palms and the top of the dough lightly with oil. Divide dough into 8 balls and place on a lightly greased work surface. Flatten each ball with your palm into a roti about 1/4-inch thick.
  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat. Cook rotis, flipping often, until golden brown spots begin to appear on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes.

This pol roti was a great learning experience for me. It taught me how to work with a yeast-based dough and how to make a delicious and flaky flatbread. I'm excited to try making this recipe again and experiment with different fillings.

I made a gluten-free version of this pol roti by using a gluten-free flour blend. It was a bit more challenging to work with, but the end result was still delicious.

I made a vegan version of this pol roti by using plant-based milk and butter. It turned out great! The coconut filling was still rich and creamy, and the dough was still flaky and delicious.

I made a healthier version of this pol roti by using whole wheat flour and reducing the amount of sugar in the filling. It was still just as delicious and satisfying.
