AKKI ROTI

Akki roti (youtube)  is basically made with rice flour and is the speciality of Karnataka. We make Verum arisi adai means plain rice adai which is made with brown rice.  if we add onion and some vegetables in it, it becomes Akki roti.  One is plain and the other one is with vegetables that is the only difference between the Verum arisi adai and akki roti.  similar to this roti is muringa elai adai. 

We can put any vegetables or leafy vegetables to the plain rice flour or plain rice batter (with brown rice or white rice) and make this roti.  You name it adai or roti, it is yummy with any kind of chutney or sambar.

Let us look at the recipe now:


 total time taken: 1 hr.
yield : 3 nos.

Ingredients:

1 cup plain rice flour
1 big onion chopped or two medium size
3-4 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
1-2 green chilli chopped
1 tsp cumin seeds
3/4 to 1 tsp sesame seeds
a generous pinch of asafoetida (normally not added but i did)
1 small carrot grated
salt
oil for cooking the roti

Method:

In a mixing bowl, put the flour, onion, carrot, coriander leaves, green chilli, cumin seeds, sesame seeds, asafoetida, salt and mix well.  add water little by little to make dough out of it.  the  cosistency of the dough  should be able to spread with your palm.  Youcan spread this on a piece of plaintain leaf and put it on the greased tava.  

Once the dough is prepared, divide into three equal parts.  Heat the tava, spread some oil.  place one portion of the dough on it and spread with your palm.  make whole in between for evenly cooking the same.
spread some oil, cover and cook both the sides till it becomes brown. Your akki roti is ready to serve.
