Sri Lankan Pol roti is basically flatbread with coconut, it has inclusions such as chopped red onion and chilli. You can also make it plain but the inclusions make it really tasty and gives a good crunch. We as Sri Lankans eat pol roti a lot for breakfast, but you can definitely eat it for lunch and dinner as well. because it’s very easy to make it is definitely an easy dish to whip up in the morning. I remember my mum always made pol roti for breakfast and I loved it so much. My mum used to have a ‘roti thatiya‘ which means a flat pan to cook the coconut roti and we don’t call it pan-frying the coconut roti we call it ‘ roti puchchanawa‘ which directly translates to burning the roti. the reason being, it’s actually not pan-fried, a traditional roti would have a few burnt bits on the roti. No oil is used to cook these Rotis hence why a few burnt spots which also adds flavour.
