Almost all South Asian countries have their own version of roti. Sri Lanka is no different. Sri Lankan roti is very different, as it's made using coconut, green chilies and onions. This is a simple, delicious recipe that can be eaten with a vegetarian or a meat curry. I have also eaten this for breakfast with jam. If making for breakfast to be eaten with jam, skip the greenchilies and onions.

If using fresh coconut this step can be missed. If using descicated coconut soak it in 1.5 cups of water for about five mins. This will add moisture to the roti.

In a large bowl mix flour, coconut, salt, greenchillies and red onions.

Add 1 cup water to the mixture and using your hands mix the ingredients till dough is formed. If needed add more water till all the ingredients starts to mix together.
4

Make 10 to 12 equal sized balls from the dough.
5

Roll out the balls so they take on the shape of a roti using a rolling pin.
6

Heat a pan, add oil, when heated place the roti onto the pan and let it cook. About 3-4 mins on each side of till the transparency of the dough disappears. Enjoy with a vegetarian or meat curry.
