Mixed Veg Akki Rotis | Beetroot Akki Rotis

Mixed Veg Akki Rotis – Healthy rice flour rotis loaded with vegetables.

Akki Roti is a popular breakfast dish from Karnataka. These are rotis made with rice flour and vegetables. (Akki in Kannada means rice). Generally, carrots and onions are used to make these rotis. But on one occasion, when I ran out of carrots, I used beetroot to make these rotis and it was liked by everyone at home. Since then, I have started adding beetroot to these rotis. Akki rotis are one of the favourite breakfast dishes of  my family and hence, off late, I have started loading these rotis with as many vegetables that are available with me, which otherwise kids create a fuss to eat.

Mixed veg Akki rotis are rice flour rotis loaded with various vegetables, beetroot being the dominant one. Beetroot imparts a beautiful colour to these rotis.  I generally make a spicy orange (coconut) chutney to go with these rotis.  Here goes the recipe for Mixed veg Akki rotis:
