Sri Lankan Coconut Roti (Pol Roti)

Sri lankan Coconut Roti or Pol Roti, a flat bread made up of flour, freshly grated coconut with finely chopped green chillies and onions for extra texture.  This is a delicious roti from the little island Srilanka, served with side dishes such as Katta sambal (Chili sambol) and Pol Sambol (coconut sambol). This is how I make my Pol Roti.

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour

1 cup freshly grated coconut

salt as per taste

1 green chili (chopped) 

1 small onion (chopped)

a pinch of baking soda

1/4 tsp sugar

Warm water to knead

Directions

1. In a bowl, put all the ingredients and add little water at a time to knead it into a soft dough.  
2. Make balls out of them and roll them into small circles. (use coconut oil if the dough is sticky)
3. Heat a skillet or pan over medium high heat and cook the rotis until both sides become brown. 
4. Serve hot. Enjoy!
