    Instructions<\/span><\/h2>

    1. Prepare the Roti<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ol>

      In a non-stick pan, heat the ghee over medium-high heat.<\/span><\/p>

      When the ghee is heated, pan-fry the paratha or roti until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.<\/span><\/p>

      1. Fry the Eggs<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ol>

        In a wok, heat the oil and add the eggs.<\/span><\/p>

        Deep fry the eggs, stirring while they fry, until fully cooked. Remove from the wok and set aside.<\/span><\/p>

        1. Saut\u00e9 the Vegetables<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ol>

          In the same wok, heat canola oil and add the onion. Saut\u00e9 until golden brown.<\/span><\/p>

          Add 2 teaspoons of chili paste, followed by the ginger and garlic.<\/span><\/p>

          1. Combine Meat and Spices<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ol>

            1. Make the Cheese Sauce<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ol>

              In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat.<\/span><\/p>

              Once the butter starts melting, add milk and flour, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.<\/span><\/p>

              When the mixture is smooth, add the shredded cheese and stir until melted and fully incorporated.<\/span><\/p>

              Pour the hot cheese sauce over the prepared kottu just before serving.<\/span><\/p>
