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.
