Akki roti

-

Akki roti is a Kannada recipe; from the state of Karnataka. It is a rice based bread. Mom added a little bit of ragi flour too. Hence the greyish tinge.

The background is a water colour on canvas by my daughter. She says it is a park :-)



Ingredients are,

Rice powder - 1 cup

Ragi powder - 2 Tbsp

Salt

Cumin seeds - a pinch

Water

Onion - 2 medium size, peeled

Green chili - 2, minced

Coconut, grated - 1 cup

Coriander leaves - a few

Curry leaves - a few

Oil - for brushing pan


Mix the powders with salt  and cumin seeds. Sprinkle water and make a thick batter.

Slice onions into very small pieces. Shred leaves too into small pieces.

Add onion, leaves and chili into the batter. Mix well.

Take a small piece of banana leaf; only as big as a page of a notebook. Spread the batter with your fingers on the leaf.

Heat a tava. Place the leaf side up and batter touching the tava. After a few minutes, gently remove the leaf. Flip the roti. When both sides are cooked, take off from tava.

Its raining cats and dogs here. The small streets and pot-holes are filled with muddy water. The weather is gloomy and dull. With so little sunlight, I would rather prefer to sleep in. But my daughter needs to attend online classes. I have cut fruits in my fridge. And lazy me thinks "Smoothie"! The Kokeshi doll is called Hohemi (meaning Smile). Its made from Mizuki wood and handpainted in Japan. She is created by Masai Fujikawa, recepient of the Prime Minister's award. She has plum flowers on her kimono and a red top knot. The head and trunk are made separately, and these dolls have no hands or feet. My husband brought her as a souvenir when he travelled to Tokyo for work. Ingredients for the smoothie are : Papaya - peeled, and diced Apple - peeled, and diced Ginger - 1/2 inch, grated Yogurt - 1/2 cup Blend!
