Karnataka special Akki Rotti - Crispy Rice flour Patties

Akki Rotti - Karnataka Special
After coming to Bangalore, I got familiar with a lot of Karnataka special dishes like Akki rotti, chiroti, jowar roti, kara bath, chow chow bath, vangi bath.... etc. But I never dared to try the Karnataka staple food - Ragi Mudhe, nothing but big Ragi balls eaten with sambar here. Out of these Akki rotti is my hubby's favorite and he also likes to try his hand in making them at home with me :) Akki rotti is an Indian style rice flour pancake.. you can either make it plain or add grated vegetables to make it more crunchy and healthier.
Ingredients:
Rice Flour - 2 cups (I generally use very fine quality rice flour, which I use to make Idiyappam)
Jeera / Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Finely chopped Onion - 1 big
Finely chopped green chilli - 2
Finely grated Carrot - 1/2 cup (optional)
Finely chopped corriander leaves - 2 tbsp
Salt
Oil
Water

Method:
1. Take 2 cups of rice flour in a large bowl. Add salt, onions, green chillies, carrot, corriander leaves to the flour. You can also add grated coconut or crushed groundnuts instead of carrots. Some people add other veggies like bottle gourd, cucumber, flat beans, etc.

2. Boil 1 cup of water. Add hot water little by little to the flour mixture and knead the mixture with a wooden spatula initially. Then use your hand to knead the dough until it becomes a soft ball, similar to roti dough. You can add 1 tsp oil to make it into a pliable dough. Neither too dry not watery, as seen below.

3. You can cover and keep the dough for half an hour.
4. Take a lemon sized ball of dough. Take a plastic sheet (thick ones and cut into a size of a roti), spread 1 tsp of oil on the sheet and start pressing the dough into a flat round rotti with your fingers, with gentle pressure. Dip your fingers in oil for making a smoother rotti.
You can also use an healthier option to plastic - plantain leaf for better rottis and enhanced flavour :)
5. Heat an iron skillet or non-stick tawa, drizzle some oil. Place the sheet upside down, when the roti sticks to the tawa pull off the sheet slowly. Take care not to burn the plastic along with your roti (Dangerous... needs some practice!!).
6. Flip the roti and cook the other side too. Drizzle some oil on the sides and cook until the rotis are crispy.
Another method: is to use two tawas. Before switching on your tawa spread some oil, press the dough into a flat roti on the tawa directly and then switch on the flame. Cook both sides as above. Switch off the tawa when you finish making one rotti, and press another rotti on the other tawa which is cool. Thus making rottis on alternate tawas at the same time.

Serve hot akki rotis straight out from the pan, with chutney or jaggery. You don't need a sidedish for this rotti. Basic version of akki rotti is white in color with only onions and green chillies. Do try this at home for breakfast on a Saturday or Sunday Morning!! Let us know your comments.
Happy Cooking!!
