Fish Roti
Fish rotis are one of my favourite rotis. Before making them by my self I used to buy them from take away shops in Sri Lanka. They are quite expensive. But worth buying when you are lazy to cook or no time to cook. But the money you spen to buy 2 or 3 , if you spend the same to buy the ingredients you can make 20 with out a problem.
Not only that the advantage is you exactly know whats in it too. You can cook them and freeze or put in air tight containers in the fridge for several days.Once you know the technique its really easy.
Always adjust level of fish , vegetables and spices to your liking.
This is the link for making godamba roti.

In some parts of Sri Lanka Pol kavum or the Naran Kavum are very famous during the new year. Coconut is common in every part of Sri Lanka and people love to eat any thing infused or mixed with coconut.I read an article about the values of coconut. Its amazing to know every detail about consuming coconut and how it keep the people away from dimentia. Though we havent had any idea about these long time ago, I can remember we rearely saw a person dying from dimetia, though it is very common in some part of the world.
The shape of the mandarine, gave these sweet treats the name naran kavum. The swet coconut and treacle mix cooked on the stove gives these a devine taste. After making it a ball and deep fried in a batter make these look awesome on the plate.

- 1/2 Cup freshly grated coconut
- 100g Rice Flour ( will need more for the batter)
