Akki Roti

Its a Karnataka dish. I ate this dish at my friend Asha' s place. I really liked it.

Ingredients:

• Rice Flour: 1 cup
• Red chilli pwd: to taste
• Salt: to taste
• Cucumber: finely chopped
• Onion:1 (finely chopped)
• Coriander: finely chopped

Method:

• In a pan, add all the above ingredients. Now slowly add warm water and bring the dough together with spoon. Make sure there are no lumps. The dough should be semi-viscous. (so that you can pat easily on tawa). 

• Oil the non stick pan/ tawa. Don't heat the tawa.
• Wet your hands and  take some dough in hand. ( You need to wet your hands in order to prevent dough from sticking to your hands.)
• Next step can be done either of the ways.

• Pat this dough on greased tawa to make a round chapati. and now Turn on the tawa. (I used this method though)
• OR,  You can use butterpaper. For that, take following steps:
• Lightly grease the butterpaper. Put a small ball of dough on butterpaper. Pat with hands to make chapati. Heat the tawa. 
• Pick up the butterpaper and transfer the roti on tawa, carefully taking off the butterpaper. (Remember, you have to cook roti only not paper ;) )

• Cook the roti on both sides and serve hot with coconut chutney, carrot chutney or any chutney of yours choice. (You can use oil while cooking rotis to make them crisp)
• Sprinkle a little water on tawa to cool it. Then you make next roti.

PS:

• You can also add methi leaves, green chillies, grated carrots, ground/ grated coconut (fresh), grated ginger in it.
• Traditionally, the dough is placed between two banana leaves. They use rolling pin to spread it or with hands.
