Who We Are
MrKottu.lk is run by a dedicated team of food enthusiasts, writers, and Sri Lankan culture lovers who share a deep appreciation for the art and tradition of kottu roti. Our contributors come from diverse backgrounds — some grew up watching kottu being made at their neighbourhood roadside stall, while others discovered this incredible dish through travel and culinary exploration.
What unites us is our belief that kottu roti deserves a world-class platform that does justice to its rich history and incredible variety. We are not chefs by profession, nor do we run a restaurant. We are storytellers, researchers, and food lovers committed to building the most complete kottu resource the internet has ever seen.
Why We Created MrKottu.lk
Despite kottu roti being one of the most popular and recognizable dishes in Sri Lanka, we noticed a significant gap in the online world. There was no single, comprehensive resource that covered everything about kottu — its history, the dozens of types and variations, authentic recipes, the best places to eat it, and the cultural traditions surrounding it.
We set out to change that. MrKottu.lk was born from the desire to create a definitive online destination where anyone — whether a seasoned Sri Lankan home cook or a curious international traveller — can learn everything there is to know about kottu roti.
