Kothu (chopped) or koththu roti is a Sri Lankan dish made from Godhamba roti (a type of Sri Lankan roti) and vegetables, egg and/or meat, and spices;[1][2] the bread is described as similar to parotta and roti canai.[3] A common dinner dish,[4] kothu has become popular in North American cities such as Toronto,[5] as well as in New York City's Little Sri Lanka neighborhood.[6]

Generally, the consumer chooses what and how much of the amount of ingredients are included if someone else is preparing.[7][8] Kothu is considered the Sri Lankan equivalent of the hamburger, in terms of its popularity.[9]
