Purple cabbage Akki Rotti – Akki rotti made with purple cabbage.
Akki Rotti is a traditional flatbread from Karnataka made with rice flour, vegetables, and spices. It’s a wholesome breakfast or snack that can be enjoyed any time of the day. In this recipe, I’ve given it a colourful and healthy twist by adding purple cabbage. The vibrant colour not only makes the rotti visually appealing but also adds extra crunch and nutrition.
Purple cabbage brings a lovely colour contrast to the plate and turns a simple rotti into something eye-catching and nutritious.
Purple Cabbage Akki rotti pairs excellently with orange coconut chutney.

In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, purple cabbage, onion, green chillies, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, and salt.
Gradually add water and knead into a smooth dough. Add 1 tsp oil to the dough and knead again. Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Keep aside.
In the meantime lets make a chutney. Into a mixer jar, add coconut, dry red chillies, garlic, tamarind, salt and little water. Blend to a fine paste.
For the tempering heat oil in a small pan. Add mustard seeds and udad dal. Once they splutter and turn golden, add curry leaves and dry red chilli. Sauté briefly and pour this tempering over the chutney. Mix well.
Heat an iron griddle on medium flame. Take one dough ball and flatten it evenly on a banana leaf or butter paper to form a thin rotti.
Transfer the rotti onto the hot griddle. and drizzle oil around the edges.
Cook on both sides until golden brown and crisp.
Serve the hot purple cabbage akki rottis with the freshly prepared coconut chutney.
