A staple in Coorg Rice rotis or akki otti as we call it can be had for breakfast or dinner.It goes well with a variety of chutneys , butter n ghee or can be served with any curry. You could try it with jams and honey as well. We have it with mushroom curry or bamboo shoot curry too.
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked rice
1 & 1/2 cups rice flour
salt to taste.
Method:
* Mix rice , flour and salt together in a thali or use a mixie … adding a lil water at a time and knead the dough of medium consistency
* Take a lime sized portion of the dough and roll out a roti as you normally would . The edges will not be as smooth as a regular wheat roti so flatten it with your hand or use a sharp round steel lid to smoothen the edges and cut the rough edge.
* Heat a tave or pan and cook the roti on it… both sides for 2-3 minutes each.
* Roast the roti on direct flame till it puffs out taking care to see that it does not burn too much.
* Make the rest of the rotis in a similar way.
For crisper rotis you can add a little more rice flour while kneading.
