About Kottu Roti

Kottu Roti is a sizzling street food favorite, made by chopping godhamba roti (flatbread) into pieces and stir-frying it on a hot griddle with vegetables, eggs, meat, or seafood. Spices and sauces are added for bold flavor, while the rhythmic chopping on the griddle creates a unique soundscape that is part of the experience. It’s hearty, flavorful, and widely loved by locals and tourists alike, often eaten as a filling meal at any time of day.
