Akki roti recipe
Akki roti or akki rotti is a gluten free bread made with rice flour. Ingredients like dill, coriander leaves, onion and cumin seeds with green chilli, makes this roti really flavourful.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rice flour
- 1 Onion
- 1/4 cup Grated coconut
- 2 Green chilli
- 1/4 cup Dill leaves
- 1/4 cup Coriander leaves
- 1 tsp Cumin seeds
- Water – As needed
- Salt
- Oil – as needed
Instructions
- 1
Chop dill, coriander leaves and green chilli firstly.
- 2
Mix all the ingredients in a mixing bow except water.
- 3
Add hot water and mix with a spatula firstly. When warm enough to handle, make a non sticky dough.
- 4
Then divide into equal sized balls.
- 5
I made 3, but it was too big, so you can make 4 or 5 equal sized balls.
- 6
In a greased paper or banana leaf or a food safe cover like zip lock, flatten the roti as thin as possible.
- 7
I sprinkle little water below the sheet to keep it in place while we flatten.
- 8
Make a hole or few holes in the rotti.
- 9
Heat a tawa/ pan and drizzle little oil. You can apparently flatten akki roti over a greased tawa too as thin as possible and then heat it together.
- 10
Carefully carry and invert the sheet to the tawa. Refer video for easy understanding.
- 11
Drizzle little more oil and cook covered in medium flame for a minute or two.
- 12
Cooking covered prevents drying of the roti as it gets cooked and remains soft.
- 13
Flip and cook for one more minute or until done. You should see golden spots in the roti to ensure it is done.
