Akki Roti | Rice Flour Roti

Akki Roti is a popular breakfast dish from Karnataka. Akki in Kannada means rice and this roti is made using rice flour, chopped vegetables and spices. Akki Roti is generally served with a spicy chutney. This  healthy roti is quite filling and keeps you full  for a long time.  I have used onions, carrots and coriander leaves to make this roti, but you can add other vegetables like cucumber, cabbage, bottle gourd etc.  Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients

1 cup rice flour (chawal ka atta)
1 large onion, finely chopped (pyaaz)
1 cup grated carrots (gaajar)
½ cup chopped coriander leaves (hara dhaniya)
2 green chillies, finely chopped (hari mirch)
1 tbsp cumin seeds (jeera)
Few curry leaves, chopped (kadi patta)
1 tbsp oil (tel)
Salt as per taste (namak)

Oil to cook the rotis (around 1 tsp oil per roti)

Method

• In a mixing bowl, add a cup of rice flour.
• Add chopped onions, grated carrots, chopped coriander leaves, chopped green chillies, cumin seeds, chopped curry leaves and salt.
• Mix well using a spoon.
• Now, add water gradually and knead to make a soft dough.
• Once the dough is ready, add 1 tbsp oil and knead again for few seconds.  
• Take a small portion of the dough and place it on butter paper.
• Shape the dough ball into a thin flat roti using your fingers. 
• Lift the roti alongwith the butter paper and flip it on a hot pan.
• Gently take off the butter paper.
• Drizzle about 1 tsp of oil around the roti and allow it to cook.
• Flip the roti and cook it on the other side.
• Allow the roti to cook evenly on both sides.
• Remove it from the pan and serve with tomato coconut chutney or tomato chutney.
