Ingredients
Produce
- 3 Carrots grated
- 1 Chayote grated
- 1 Cucumber grated
- 1 Bell Peppers any color, grated
- 2 Tomatoes chopped
- 1/2 bunch Amaranth Leaves finely chopped
- 1 sprig Curry Leaves
- 15 Chillies finely chopped (or to taste), green
Dry Ingredients & Oil
- 1 kg Rice Flour
- 4 tsp Cumin Seeds
- Oil as needed
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the grated carrots, chayote, cucumber, bell pepper, chopped tomatoes, amaranth leaves, curry leaves, and green chilies.
- Add the rice flour, cumin seeds, and 2 tablespoons of oil to the vegetable mixture. Mix thoroughly.
- Lightly grease a piece of parchment paper or a zip-top bag with oil. This will prevent the dough from sticking.
- Place a portion of the dough onto the greased surface. Using your hands, flatten and shape the dough into a thin, round roti (about 5-6 inches in diameter).
- Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of oil to the hot pan.
- Carefully place the roti along with the parchment paper onto the hot pan. Cook for about 1 minute. This helps the roti hold its shape.
- Peel off the parchment paper. Flip the roti and drizzle a little oil around the edges. Cook for another minute.
- Continue to flip and cook the roti for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Covering the pan briefly between flips helps to cook the roti evenly.
- Serve the hot akki roti immediately with coconut chutney or your favorite pickle.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crispiness, spread the dough thinly on a banana leaf or parchment paper, then flip it onto the hot tawa. This technique makes it easier to achieve an even, golden crust without sticking.
- To enhance the tangy flavor, add a couple of tablespoons of finely chopped dill leaves or a teaspoon of lemon juice to the dough.
- If you prefer a spicier roti, finely chop green chilies or add a spoonful of crushed red pepper flakes to the dough before mixing.
Expert Tips
- Use a cast iron tawa or griddle for best results, as it retains heat well and promotes even cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the tawa when cooking the rotis. Cook them one at a time to ensure they crisp up properly.
- Serve the akki roti hot off the tawa with a dollop of yogurt or chutney for a complete and satisfying meal.
Storage Instructions
- Cooked akki roti can be cooled, stacked with parchment paper between each, and frozen for up to a month. Reheat on a hot tawa to restore crispiness when ready to serve.
