Category: Bread,Roti
Preparation Time:20 Mins
Serves : 8 Rotis
Ingredients:
Rice Flour- 2 Cups
Carrot-1/2 Cup Grated
Grated coconut- 1/2 Cup
Split bengal Gram or chana dal -2 Tbsp
Finely chopped Onion-1/2 Cup
Cumin-1 tsp
Sambhar Masala-1 tsp
Slit green Chillies -3
Chopped Coriander leaves :1 tsp
Oil-1/2 Cup
Salt- to taste
Water-To Knead
Method:
Preparing the Dough:
Soak the Split bengal gram for 30- mins in 1/4 Cup of warm water.Keep it Aside.
After 30 minutes,Take all the ingredients in a big bowl,mix it well,prepare a smooth dough.Be sure the dough have enough moisture,it helps in shaping rotis well.It should be like sticky mess.
Now make evenly size 8 balls of the dough.
Shaping the Rotis:
Shaping the rotis is so much fun just like pampering your rotis by your hands. :)
Take a greased aluminium foil,put a dough ball over it,Shape it well with the help of your fingertips.If you find your fingers sticky,keep a bowl of water beside and dip your fingers in it and Continue shaping it.Shaping a akki roti needs a bit of practice and patience too.While making rotis,i torn the first roti,But with practice,i have learnt to make round-shaped rotis.
Roasting the chapatis:
Now take a tawa or non-stick pan,Grease it well,reverse aluminium foil over the greased pan and transfer the roti over the tawa using your fingertips,like we do while making aloo papads.remove the foil and roast the rotis on high flame till become light golden. Pour some oil around the rotis.Turn it around and cook it well. Switch off the flame,Transfer it into a plate.Your akki roti is ready to eat.
Now its turn to make second roti, Shape the roti as before on greased aluminium foil. Wipe your pan with a moist kitchen towel,transfer the roti on the cold pan,switch on the flame and cook roti till being light brown.In the same way,you can prepare rest of your rotis.
when you make rotis in bulk,you can use two pans alternatively.
Akki roti can be enjoyed with coconut chutney,green mint chutney or tea as well.
Chef tip:
- While transferring roti to pan,make sure pan is cold and flame is off otherwise the roti would stick to your pan because of the starch in rice flour.
- Making akki roti needs a bit of extra effort,But its would be worth it when you take a bite of roti in your mouth.👅
