Instructions:

1. Prepare the Roti:

   • Cut the Godhamba roti or paratha into small bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

2. Make the Curry Sauce (Optional):

   • In a small saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
   • Add curry powder, chili powder, and chopped tomato. Cook until the tomatoes are soft.
   • Pour in the coconut milk and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Set aside.

3. Cook the Kottu:

   • Heat oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions, carrots, cabbage, and green chilies. Stir-fry until the vegetables are slightly softened.
   • Add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for another minute until fragrant.
   • Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and crack the eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked.
   • Add the shredded chicken (if using) and the cut roti pieces. Stir everything together.
   • Season with turmeric powder, chili powder, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
   • Sprinkle the grated cheese over the kottu and stir until the cheese melts and coats the roti and vegetables evenly.
