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.
