Sri Lankan Style Beef Kothu

with Kale, Carrot and Tortilla 'Roti'

Kothu is a popular Sri Lankan street food dish which typically stir-fries meat and vegetables with chopped up pieces of roti. Here, we've made it even simpler by using tortilla pieces instead of roti - you'll be surprised how close they come to the real thing!

Instructions

Fry the Beef
1

a) Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).

b) Once hot, add the beef mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

Prep Time
2

a) While the beef fries, trim the carrot, then coarsely grate (no need to peel).

b) Pile the tortillas onto each other and slice the tortillas into 1cm thick strips. Cut the strips into smaller approximately 3cm long strips (use scissors if easier).

Add the Flavour
3

a) When the mince has browned, drain and discard any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

b) Stir in the korma curry paste, Sri Lankan style curry powder and ginger, garlic and lemongrass puree. Fry until fragrant, 1 min.

c) Add the kale along with the water for the kale (see pantry for amount) and cook until starting to wilt, 3-4 mins.

Bring on the 'Roti'
4

a) Stir in the carrot, tortilla strips and sugar (see pantry for amount).

b) Stir-fry, 1-2 mins. Season with salt and pepper.

All Together Now
