This rotti is a unique preparation that is available only in Mangalore. Kori rotti recipe Mangalore style or Bunts or Shetty style is the most popular preparation.

In this kori rotti recipe, rotti is not the usual roti/rotti prepared in other regions. It’s unique. The rotti looks like thin sheets of paper which is crispy. The preparation procedure is also not easy to make. A very thin batter is made out of rice and spread over cast iron Tawa and mostly prepared on charcoal. In olden days this Rotti used to be prepared at home. But now usually not prepared at homes as it requires expertise.
In the southwestern coastal region, Kori Rotti available in most of the shops, supermarkets. But other regions it is available in Mangalore store.

Kori Rotti Recipe – Spicy Delicious Chicken Curry
I have tried and tasted a variety of Kori Rotti recipe, chicken curry recipe and this one I felt is the best. I have used 25 red chillies here and you may feel that the curry may become spicy, I felt the spice level was fine as I used a big coconut. secondly, Kori Rotti requires a lot of curry to soak the Rotti. Hence we need to make more masala. Adding curry leaves while grinding gives a special aroma and taste to the curry. Add Ghee while tempering the curry.
Crush the Rotti, pour a ladle full curry on top, mix it well. Enjoy this amazing Kori Rotti with your family and friends. Do let me know your feedback.
