			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Ingredients:</strong></p>
<p>2 cups cooked rice</p>
<p>1 &amp; 1/2 cups rice flour</p>
<p>salt to taste.</p>
<p><strong>Method:</strong></p>
<p>* Mix rice , flour and salt together in a thali or use a mixie &#8230; adding a lil water at a time and knead the dough of medium consistency</p>
<p>* 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.</p>
<p>* Heat a tave or pan and  cook the roti on it&#8230; both sides for 2-3 minutes each.</p>
<p>* Roast the roti on direct flame till it puffs out taking care to see that it does not burn too much.</p>
<p>* Make the rest of the rotis in a similar way.</p>
<p>For crisper rotis you can add a little more rice flour while kneading.</p>
