做法
- 把烙饼撕成 4 厘米左右的不规则条。大小要拿捏好——撕得太碎会糊成一团,太大又裹不住调味。
- 宽口铸铁锅大火烧热油。下咖喱叶,让它『噼啪』10 秒。
- 下洋葱片、蒜末、姜末和青辣椒,翻炒 90 秒。加入胡萝卜丝、卷心菜丝和韭葱,翻拌 2 分钟——蔬菜应当软化但仍保留脆度。
- 把所有材料推到锅一边,空出位置。倒入蛋液,定型 10 秒后划散炒成嫩蛋花。
- 加入预先煮好的鸡丁(或任何熟蛋白质食材)。翻拌均匀。加咖喱粉、辣椒酱、酱油和盐,翻炒 60 秒。
- 下入撕好的烙饼。kottu 的招牌技法:用两把金属锅铲(或一把厚刀加一把锅铲),在金属锅面上不停剁、剁、翻拌 4 分钟。烙饼条会越炒越短,调味均匀渗入,部分位置会带焦色。那种『叮叮当当』的节奏正是 kottu 的标志。立刻装盘,旁边可另上一碗咖喱酱汁。

文化背景
炒碎饼是斯里兰卡最有节奏感的街头小吃——金属刀在金属铁板上敲剁烙饼的声音,几乎是科伦坡、加勒、康提夜市的招牌背景音。这道菜据说是 1970 年代在巴蒂卡洛阿(Batticaloa)发明的,起初用来处理剩饼。各家有偏好的配方:奶酪 kottu(现代版)、鸡蛋 kottu(最传统)、鸡肉 kottu(最受欢迎),以及加菠萝的『夏威夷 kottu』(给胆大的人)。这道菜本来就要做得响——安静的 kottu 意味着师傅根本没在好好剁。
