Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups Rice Flour
  • salt as required
  • oil as required for roasting
  • 1 plantain leaf

Directions

  • Rinse a plantain leaf or use oddy ecobake parchment paper. Take a small portion of the leaf which can easily be kept on a tawa or skillet. Wipe dry the leaf and then spread a bit of oil on it.
  • Roll a handful of the rice dough into a ball and place it on the banana leaf or oddy ecobake parchment paper.
  • With your palms, gently pat and flatten the dough to get an even sized roti. You can lightly moisten your fingers with water while patting and flattening the rice dough.
  • Do not make the roti too thick or too thin.
  • Meanwhile, also heat a tawa. When the tawa gets hot, spread some oil on it. Use a well seasoned tawa.
  • Lift the plantain leaf or oddy ecobake parchment paper gently and bring it near the tawa.
  • Now gently place the side with the roti touching the tawa. Wait for a few seconds and then gently lift the plantain leaf or oddy ecobake parchment paper.
  • On a medium heat cook akki rotti. Drizzle some oil in the holes on the roti dough and on top of the roti. When the base gets light golden and crisp, flip the roti with a spatula.
  • Cook the second side also till lightly golden and crisp. Remove and serve hot with coconut chutney or with a side of ghee or butter.
