Instructions
 

Prepare the Poha

  • Soak 1 cup of flattened rice (poha) in 1/2 cup of water for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Vegetables

  • Wash and finely chop the dill leaves and onions. Finely chop the green chilies.

Combine Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, combine the rice flour, soaked poha, chopped dill, onions, green chilies, cumin seeds, and salt.

Make the Dough

  • Add the soaked avarekalu to the bowl. Gradually add warm water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth and not sticky.

Rest the Dough

  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Prepare the Rotti

  • Heat a non-stick tawa (griddle) over medium heat.
  • Spread a large plastic sheet or parchment paper and lightly grease it with oil.

Shape and Cook the Rotti

  • Take a small portion of the dough (about the size of an orange) and place it in the center of the plastic sheet.
  • Using your hands (lightly oiled), gently flatten the dough into a thin, circular rotti. Use additional oil if needed to prevent sticking.
  • Carefully lift the plastic sheet and transfer the rotti to the hot tawa.

Cook the Rotti

  • Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the rotti. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and cooked through.

Serve

  • Serve the avarekalu rotti hot, topped with butter or ghee. It's also delicious served with peanut chutney or curry leaves chutney.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Avarekalu Rotti

  • For a softer rotti, use a combination of fine and coarse rice flour.
  • Don't over-knead the dough; it should be soft and pliable, but not sticky.
  • If the dough is too dry, add a little water; if it's too wet, add a little more rice flour.
  • For a crispier rotti, cook it on medium-high heat.
