“Pol” means coconut in Sinhala, and this simple flatbread is one of Sri Lanka’s most beloved street foods. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack — there’s really no wrong time for it!

Compassion has been walking alongside children and families in Sri Lanka for over 13 years through local churches and child development centers. Nearly 25,000 children are being served right now.

Make this recipe and let us know how it turns out!

POL ROTI | Makes 8 Rotis | ~30 min active + 4–12 hrs rest
INGREDIENTS
• 4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
• 1⅔ cups shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1¼ tsp sea salt
• 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
• 3 green chiles or one 4-oz. can chopped green chiles (optional)
• ½ cup water
• ½ cup coconut milk
• Oil for greasing

INSTRUCTIONS
1️⃣ Mix 3½ cups flour with coconut, salt, onion, and chiles.
2️⃣ Slowly stir in the water and coconut milk. Add remaining flour until a smooth dough forms. Shape into a ball.
3️⃣ Cover and rest at room temperature 4–12 hours.
4️⃣ Cut into 8 pieces. Roll each into a ball, then flatten into a disc about ¼ inch thick on a floured surface. Keep covered so they don't dry out.
5️⃣ Cook in a lightly greased skillet over medium to medium-high heat, 2–3 min per side until brown spots appear.
6️⃣ Enjoy warm or at room temp. Bohoma hondai! (That's "delicious" in Sinhala 🤌)
