The vegetables commonly used include eggplant, long beans, and string beans, while the meat can be chicken, pork, or beef. The dish is often flavored with garlic, onions, and spices such as ginger and black pepper.

Kudotulla is typically cooked in a large pot, with the rice and vegetables first being sautéed in oil until they are tender. The meat is then added and cooked until it is browned and cooked through.
