Godamba Roti
Soft, thin Sri Lankan wheat flatbread rested in oil and cooked quickly on a hot surface.
About Godamba Roti
Godamba roti is a soft, flexible Sri Lankan flatbread sold by roadside restaurants and used for meals including kottu. This profile follows Jehan Yusoof's complete home recipe and selects canola oil from the author's confirmed sunflower-or-canola choices.
The bread is mild and savoury, with a clean wheat flavour and richness from its long rest in oil. Salt sharpens the otherwise simple dough without adding a filling or spice mixture.
Each roti is very thin and pliable, with irregular translucent patches, light blistering and occasional crisp or browned spots. Its layered folds stay soft enough to tear, roll or chop.
