How to Make Pol Roti Coconut Flatbread

  1. In a large bowl, combine the grated coconut, flour, salt, and sugar. Gradually add warm water, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add a little more water if needed to achieve the right consistency.
  3. Divide the dough into 6-8 equal-sized balls.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin, round flatbread (about 6-8 inches in diameter).
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  6. Cook each flatbread for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. You may need to slightly adjust the heat to prevent burning.
  7. Serve the Pol Roti warm with your favorite Sri Lankan curry and onion sambol. Enjoy!
