Harischandra Pittu and Roti Mixture is an instant 2 in 1 flour mix of white rice flour, desiccated coconut, wheat flour and salt, in a 400g pack. The coconut is already in, so there is no scraping before you cook.
Pittu is steamed in a bamboo or metal tube in layers with coconut, and pol roti is a flat coconut bread cooked on a dry pan. Both are breakfast and dinner staples in Sri Lanka. Harischandra added its instant mixes in the 1990s.
How to use
- Pittu: sprinkle in water a little at a time and rub with the fingers into crumbs, fill the pittu tube and steam until cooked.
- Roti: add chopped onion and green chilli, mix with water to a soft dough, pat out into rounds and cook on a hot pan on both sides.
- Serve with coconut milk, kiri hodi, lunu miris or a meat curry.
