Akki Rotti with Dill & Surti Papdi Lilva

Categories: Akki Roti

Ingredients

• 2-21/2 cups Rice Flour
• 1/4 cup grated Coconut, fresh/frozen (Optional but recommended)
• 1/2 - 3/4 cups Surti Papdi Lilva/Avare KaaLu (I used canned ones. If using fresh or frozen boil them in salted water for around 5 minutes and drain or use as it is)
• 1/4 cup Dill, finely chopped
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2-4 Green Chillies, finely sliced (Adjust acc to taste)
• 11/2 tsp Jeera/Cumin Seeds
• 1-2 tbsp Oil
• Salt to taste
• Warm water for kneading

Directions

1. Add finely chopped onion, green chillies, dill, fresh/frozen coconut, surti papdi, cumin seeds, oil and salt to taste to rice flour and mix well. Now add warm water, little at a time, and mix well to form dough. This dough should smooth and easy to pat directly on tawa/griddle. Alternatively, bring 2½-3 cups of water to boil and add mixed dry contents to it. Give it a gentle stir. Switch off the flame and cover the vessel. When covered, the steam from hot water helps in getting smooth dough. When dough is cool enough to handle, add oil to it and kneed the dough for few minutes.

2. The best way to make these rotties is to pat them directly on hot tawa/griddle. Trust me, its much easier than it sounds.

3. Take large lemon sized balls and place them in a centre of tawa. Pat them with fingers to form a ½ cm thick circle. Place that tawa on flame. Add little oil or ghee to the edges of rotti. Cover and cook the rotties for about 3-4 minutes on medium heat till brown spots start to appear on its surface. Flip it around and cook for another minute or two.

4. Invert the tawa/griddle and place it under cold running water for few seconds to cook it off slightly before you continue to proceed with patting the dough. Dip fingers in cold water to help in patting thin roties.

5. Serve these rotties with any Coconut Chutney or Gojju or Playa or Badane Ennegai and enjoy.
