Directions to make Akki Roti:

In a plate or bowl, combine together, rice flour, finely chopped onions, green chillies, cumin seeds, coriander leaves, grated coconut and salt needed. Add needed water and prepare a soft dough.

Divide the dough into 3 equal parts. Grease a tawa or griddle or a kadai with oil (yes, you can prepare it in a kadai also) and keep it ready. Take a ball of dough and spread it evenly and as thinly as possible as shown in the picture below. You can grease your fingers with oil to make spreading easier. Make 5-6 holes on the roti as it will help in cooking it well.

Then heat the kadai, drizzle a tsp of oil around the rotti and inside the holes. Cook covered on medium heat.

Once it starts browning, flip it over to the other side and roast until golden brown.

If you have another tawa, you can repeat the same process for the rest of the dough, otherwise, cool the tawa by showing the back side of the tawa under running water and then spread the dough on the tawa.

-Serve with coconut chutney and yoghurt-
