  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups rice flour
  • 2 teaspoons oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Hot water as needed
  • Oil for frying the rotis
  • 2 pieces of banana leaf

Vegetable Mixture

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onions
  • 2 tablespoons grated carrots
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped green chilies
  • 2 tablespoons grated coconut
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Vegetable Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped onions, grated carrots, cilantro leaves, green chilies, grated coconut, and sugar. Mix them thoroughly to integrate the flavors.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the rice flour and salt to the vegetable mixture along with 2 teaspoons of oil. Stir well to combine all the dry and wet ingredients uniformly.
  3. Knead Dough: Gradually add warm water to the mixture and knead it into a soft, moist dough. The dough should be pliable and moist enough to spread without cracking.
  4. Prepare Banana Leaf: Take a large piece of banana leaf and apply oil generously over its surface to prevent sticking and aid in spreading the dough.
  5. Shape the Roti: Take an orange-sized portion of dough and place it on the oiled banana leaf. Using wet fingers, pat and spread the dough into a thin or thick circle as desired. For thicker rotis, poke some holes in the dough to allow even cooking.
  6. Heat Tava: Preheat a tava or flat griddle over medium heat. Once hot, spread a little oil on the surface to prevent sticking.
  7. Cook with Banana Leaf: Place the banana leaf with the dough onto the hot tava. Let the dough cook for about a minute until partially set.
  8. Remove Banana Leaf: Carefully peel off the banana leaf from the roti, ensuring it doesn't tear.
  9. Flip and Cook: Gently flip the roti directly on the tava and cook until both sides are golden brown and cooked through, adding oil as needed.
  10. Serve: Serve the hot Akki Roti with your choice of side dish such as chutney or curry for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • Banana leaves can be substituted with parchment paper if unavailable.
  • Use warm water to achieve soft dough texture necessary for spreading.
  • Wet your fingers with water to avoid dough sticking while shaping.
  • Adjust the thickness of the roti to preference; thinner rotis cook faster and are crispier, thicker ones are softer.
  • Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
