Akki Rotti

(From Banu's Cookbook)

Ingredients:

2 cups of Rice Flour
2 tablespoon of Maida Flour
2 medium sized Onions, finely chopped
1 small bunch of corriander leaves, finely chopped
4 Green Chillies, finely chopped
2 teaspoons Jeera
1/2 cup dessicated coconut
2 teaspoons of oil for the dough
Oil for cooking
salt to taste


Method:

Dry roast the maida flour until it is light brown and sieve it with rice flour into a mixing bowl. Add jeera, salt and oil. Mix it thoroughly. This is very important as the oil binds the flour. Add the chopped onions, green chillies, coriander leaves, coconut. Mix this thoroughly. Add water and mix the flour to chapathi atta consistency.

Wipe the tawa dry. Add 1 or 2 teaspoons of oil and spread it. Take a small ball of the dough and press it into the tawa to make a thin(not too thin or it may tear!) rotti. You can wet your hands in water to press the rotti easily. Cook it on slow heat. Once the rotti is done, remove it and rinse the base of the tawa in cold water to cool it. This way you can make the next rotti immediatly without waiting for the tawa to cool down.

Akki Rotti can be eaten with Chutney Powder or Coconut Chutney.
