Akki roti

(from Presi’s recipe box)

Serves 2 people

Categories: BreakFast

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rice flour
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 3-4 sprigs of coriander leaves (or cilantro)
  • 1/2 cup grated coconut
  • 1 green chili minced
  • Salt to taste

Directions

  1. Mix all ingredients with a little water to make the dough thick enough to hold in your hands.
  2. Smear oil on a banana leaf and flatten some dough on it. You could either flatten the dough with your hands – in this case, wet your fingers with water periodically, to prevent the dough from sticking to them. Or, you could place the dough between two well-oiled banana leaves and use a rolling pin to spread it. Take off the upper banana leaf before cooking, in this case.
  3. Heat some oil on a tawa and place the banana leaf on it, dough-side down.
  4. Carefully peel the leaf off. If you are using a plastic sheet, make sure it doesn’t touch the tava.
  5. Cook on a medium flame on both sides. Serve with coconut chutney or vegetable curry
