Kottu roti is made from Gothamba roti and vegetables, eggs, or meat and various Spices. It is a delicious meal generally eaten at dinner time. Apart from the commonest form of Kottu with meat, eggs or vegetables a newer variety with cheese has been introduced. The Gothamba roti is cut or chopped with the use of two metal blades on wooden handles held on both hands on this sheet or skillet.
