Tag: Kottu roti

According to research published in Public Health Nutrition, traditional Sri Lankan food consumption can sometimes involve a heavy reliance on carbohydrates. However, the healthiness of kotthu, a beloved Sri Lankan street food, largely depends on its ingredients and preparation.

According to research comparing kottu's nutritional content against local dietary guidelines, a typical serving can account for a significant portion of recommended daily intake for several food groups, but also contains high levels of salt and fat. This complexity fuels the debate: Is Kottu junk food, or is it a wholesome meal disguised as street fare?
