Roti: In a bowl, mix whole wheat flour, salt, and oil. Knead for a few minutes until a smooth dough forms.
Divide the dough into 12 balls, place them in a deep dish, drizzle with oil, and cover with cling wrap.
Let it rest for an hour.
Once ready, roll out each ball into a thin disc. Heat a pan with a little oil and fry each roti until golden brown on both sides.

Kottu: In a wok, heat some oil and sauté shredded carrots, green onions, and chopped jalapeños until fragrant.
Push the veggies to the side and crack the eggs into the center. Scramble the eggs, and once they’re fully cooked, mix them with the veggies.
Add chopped whole wheat rotis and the prepared chicken curry to the wok.
Season with extra salt if needed.
Stir everything together until well combined, then remove from heat and enjoy!
