Akki Rotti

Akki Rotti is a kannada delicacy. It takes about 30 mins to make these.

INGREDIENTS:

Rice Flour: 4 cups

Poha/Avalakki/Aval (Soaked in water for about 15 mins): 1 Cup

Green Chillies: 7 nos.

Chopped Onion: 1 1/2 cup

Chopped Corriander: 1/4 cup

Cumin seeds (Jeera): 1 tsp (Optional)

Grated carrot: 1/2 cup (Optional)

Salt & Water: as required

Oil: 1 tblsp

METHOD:

Mix together all the ingredients. Add water and make dough with a consistency softer than the dough for chapathi. Use of poha makes the rotti soft on the inside but still crispy on the outside.

Pat them onto a greased tava or kadai and place on stove. Cook on medium flame, covered with a lid.

A variation in this is with cooked avarekaLu (mochai) and coconut instead of the onions and carrot.

I love to have these plain without any side dishes. However, the best side dish for these rottis is badnekai ennegai (enne kathrikka) a dish made with eggplants.

Will post the recipe for that soon.

Ciao till then...Have fun! Vidya.
