Categories: Akki Roti

Ingredients

• Sago/Sabudana/Sabbakki : 1.5 cups
• Rice flour: 1 cup
• Potato: Approximately 1 cup (boiled &mashed)
• Peanuts:1 tbsp (roasted & coarsely crushed)
• Spinach leaves: Approximately 3/4 to 1 cup (finely chopped)
• Salt:According to taste
• Green chilli paste: 1/2tsp (optional, I normally donot add this)
• Other ingredients:
• Oil: 1 tsp or more for each rotti.
• For patting the rotti:
• Wax paper/brown paper/aluminium foil: 1 no
• Water: 1 cup (to wet the hands)

Directions

1. Wash the sago seeds in water & drain the water immediately. The moisture in the water us sufficient to make the sago soft. Let it rest for 10-15mins.

2. Mix all the other ingredients together. Add the soaked sago too. Add few tbsps of water if needed. Make it a soft dough.
3. Make medium orange sized balls(the above batter will make around 10 balls).
4. Heat the griddle. Meantime, sprinkle 1-2 drops of oil to the brown paper. Place the batter on the paper & start patting them. Wet your hands in between (this helps in patting the rottis easily).
5. When the griddle is hot, smear few drops of oil to the griddle & put the brown paper on the griddle.
6. After 5-10secs, slowly take off the brown paper alone. Add 1/2 tsp of oil & cook on slow-medium heat for 1 to 2 mins on both sides.
7. Repeat the process for the remaining rottis & serve it hot/warm with a curry/chutney/dip of your choice.
8. (I served the rotti with stuffed okra)

9. Notes:

10. I have used fine variety of sago, hence I did not soak it. If you are using the medium sized sago as she has done, then you need to soak it for 4-5 hours, drain the water & then use.
11. This dish is very forgiving, you can add whatever & how much ever you feel like.
12. If you do not have time to boil the potatoes, grate them & put them. It tastes equally good.
13. Coarsely crushed peanuts could be replaced with the roasted peanut powder.
14. If you donot have the wax paper/brown paper or not confident of using them, try patting the rottis directly on the griddle by cooling them (as shown here).
15. Spinach leaves could be replaced with coriander leaves, grated coconut or any other leafy vegetables of your choice.
