Akki Rotti- Kannada
Akki Rotti (Kannada: ಅಕ್ಕಿ ರೊಟ್ಟಿ) is a rice-based breakfast item unique to the state of Karnataka, India. Akki-Rotti means rice-pancake in the native language, Kannada.
Ingerdients
Note:
1) You can make these rottis with rice flour alone also.
2) If you want to add left over cooked rice to the mixture, you need to mix the cooked rice and flour in 2:1 ratio.
3) Ensure that the cooked rice is smooth/soft enough to be knead along with the dough. If the cooked rice is too grainy and dry, then you need to cook it in a pressure cooker for ten minutes.
How to prepare:
Step 1: Mix the rice + rice flour, onions, green chillies, coriander leaves, vegetable oil, and salt and make a mixture.
Step 2: Make a soft dough by adding sufficient amount of water. Knead the dough till it becomes smooth.
Step 3: Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
Step 4: Pinch off a small quantity of dough and roll it into a ball shape.
Step 5: Take a cold* dosa tava. Dip your fingers in water and then pat the dough ball into the shape of a rotti on the tava. Make few holes in the rotti as shown in the pic. This is to ensure that the ghee or butter reaches through the gaps. Now start heating the rotti in a high flame. High flame ensures that the rotti is soft enough.
Step 6: Once half the rotti is done it'll turn brown on the lower side. Add some ghee or butter to the rotti. You need to flip over the rotti to roast the other side.
Once the other side also turns brown and crispy you may take it off the pan and serve it hot with coconut chutney.
*Note:
1) You need to use a cold tava for patting the rotti, else you may get your fingers burnt. Keep dipping your fingers in water while patting the rotti on the tava to ensure that the dough doesn't stick to your fingers.
2) Once you are done with making a rotti, you can plunge the tava in cold running water, reduce the temperature of the tava and use it to make the next one.
