Pol Roti / Coconut Roti

Prep Time:20 minutes
Cook Time:15 minutes
Total Time:35 minutes
Cuisine: Sri Lankan
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 1 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1 cup rice flour or all purpose flour (or gluten free flour of your choice)
  • 1/3 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup warm water

Instructions

  • Re-hydrate the desiccated coconut in a bowl with the water.  Add the flour and salt and mix it with your hands. (If using fresh coconut, add water a tablespoon at a time for the right consistency and you won’t need 1/2 cup.)
  • Dough will come together as pictured.  Unlike all-purpose wheat flour the mixture is more delicate to handle.  Roll into golf-ball sized balls.  Cover and rest for 10 minutes.  Heat griddle.  Flatten the dough into discs like the video.  Cook on the griddle.
  • I haven't used any oil in this recipe but you could add a little coconut oil or butter into the dough as well as to grease your hands.  Once cooked serve warm.
