Instructions
- Ingredients
- To begin, grab a mixing bowl.
- To make the mixture, put rice flour and finely chopped onions into the mixing bowl.
- Add grated carrot and chopped methi leaves to the mixture. Alternatively, you can use dill leaves or any other vegetable you prefer.
- Next, add chopped coriander leaves and 1/2 teaspoon of cumin seeds.
- Next, add the chopped ginger and finely chopped green chillies. If you're making this for children, it's best to omit the green chillies.
- Add salt to the mixture according to the desired taste.
- Mix all the ingredients with the flour until well combined.
- Mixing the ingredients thoroughly is important to ensure that the salt and other components are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- Next, add two tablespoons of oil.
- Mix it again with the flour.
- To knead the dough, use 1.5 cups of hot water. It's essential to ensure the water is hot and not at room temperature.
- To knead the dough, add water gradually and mix well.
- To make akki rotis, we must knead a soft dough, as demonstrated below. The dough is now prepared.
- To prepare the rotis, we will require butter paper. Rather than using a rolling pin, we will use our palms to create the rotis. To begin, place a piece of butter paper on a flat surface and coat it with some oil.
- Take a dough ball about the size of an onion, and place it between two sheets of butter paper.
- Gently press and move your fingers in a circular motion from the centre to the edges of the object.
- Gently press on all sides towards the edge, ensuring the centre is not too thick and evenly spread out.
- To begin, heat a tawa and apply a light layer of oil to grease it.
- Use butter paper to flip the roti on the tawa.
- Gently peel off the butter paper from the roti.
- Add oil to the pan and cook on one side for at least 2 minutes.
- To enhance the flavour and texture of your roti, try applying some oil on both sides before flipping it over.
- Cover with a lid and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Once both sides of the roti are cooked, it usually takes about 4-5 minutes to ensure it is cooked thoroughly.
- After removing it from the plate, serve the dish hot with coconut chutney.

Notes
