Akki Rotti

Akki Rotti meaning Rice flour roti (flat bread) is a unique specialty of Karnataka.
It is a very popular breakfast item and my all-time favorite. I particularly love it with godda-khara or type of tamarind chutney which mom makes the best :-)

There are many variations of Akki Rotti. The recipe that I would like to share here is pretty simple and quick....courtesy my mother-in-law :)

Ingredients :

(Measurements are approximate)

Rice flour - 2 cups (If you are buying this from non-Indian store, make sure its a little coarse and not fine powder.)

Semolina/Rava - 1/2 cup

Onion - 1 medium - finely chopped

Green chilies - 2 finely chopped
Cilantro - finely chopped
Salt to taste
Water to mix the dough

Optional : Jeera, grated carrot, ground nuts, grated coconut

Method :

Mix gently the finely chopped onions, green chilies and coriander. Then add the rice flour, rava and salt. Add little water at a time and mix into dough similar to chapathi/roti.

To roll the rotti:
Take a thick plastic sheet and smear little oil on it.
Take small ball size dough and gently press with your fingers to make rotti shape. Make sure not to press too hard.

Gently remove the rotti from the plastic sheet onto hot tava/griddle.
Add half tsp of oil around the corners of the rotti. Cook on either side.

Akki rotti tastes best with wide variety of chutney. I tried this recipe of Eggplant chutney.

If you do try this recipe, I would love to hear how it turned out :)
Bon Appetite !
