Arisi-Roti

#ArisiRoti #Akkiroti : The dish #akkiroti is one of the favorite tiffin items of Karnataka. It is done with rice flour and dill leaves. The dill leaves ( fennel plant ) give a distinct flavour to #roti. If dill is not available coriander leaves can be used. The prepared dough has to be spread by hand. Usually for other roti dough is spread on a plantain leaf by hand and then transferred on to a hot tawa. But akki roti dough tends to break while transferring. So dough is spread on tawa itself and then cooked on medium flame. It is advisable to have two or three tawa to prepare akki roti. Some years back I have posted akki roti recipe prepared from cooked rice and rice flour.

Ingrdients :
1 cup	Rice Flour
1/2 Tsp	Cumin
1/2 cup	Dill leaves ( nicely chopped )
3/4 Tsp	Black pepper powder
1 Tsp	Green chilly nicely chopped ( optional )
1 Tsp	Salt ( adjust )

Oil to make roti on tawa [ dosai kal ]

Method :

Take all the ingredients in a wide mouthed vessel and mix well.

Add quarter cup of water and mix well.

Add some more water if needed and make a dough slightly flexible.

The dough shoudn't be as tight as chappathy dough.

Take a tawa ( dosai kal ) smear oil.

Keep a big ball of dough over tawa and slowly spread using hand.

Now heat the tawa on a medium flame.

Flip and cook other side.

The roti should be white in color and with some gold spots here and there.
Transfer on to a plate.
Enjoy with kadalai chutny, coconut chutny, tomato sauce and also with tomato chutny.

Note : Grated carrot and nicely chopped coriander leaves can also be used along with dill.

Chappathy/Roti Varieties

#Chappathy [ #Roti ] : Generally chappathy dough is prepared from whole wheat flour. To increase its nutritional value other flours like soya flour, buckwheat flour, amaranth flour etc., are added. The chappathy can also be made more nutritious by adding green leafy vegetables.

Cooked-Rice-Coriander-Pancake

#CookeRiceCorianderPancake : I usually cook rice just enough for me and my husband for lunch. The other day he couldn't come back from work for lunch. So some left over cooked rice was there. He doesn't like to take rice for dinner. When I was scratching my head what to do with the left over rice, my dear daughter gave me this idea. I immediately swung into action and prepared spicy healthy green pancake.
Now I would like to present before you how I made those pancakes.

Ingredients:
1 cup	Cooked Rice
1/4 cup	Rice flour
1/4 cup	Amaranth flour [ optional ]
1/4 cup	Mint leaves
1/2 cup	Coriander leaves
8 to 10	Spinach leaves
3 or 4	Green chilly [ adjust ]
1 Tsp	Cumin seeds
1 Tsp	Salt

Oil to spread dough on a plastic sheet and to make pancakes.

Method :

Wash all the leaves and take in a mixie jar.

To that add green chilly, cumin, salt and grind coarsely.

Now add rice and grind into a smooth paste.

Transfer into a wide mouthed vessel.

Now add rice flour and amaranth flour.
Adjust salt.

Knead into a slightly tight dough.

If the dough seems to be soggy, then add some more rice flour.

Divide equally into a big palm sized balls.

Heat a tawa on a stove over a medium flame.

Take a banana leaf or a clean & dry plastic sheet.

Apply oil over it.

Spread the dough into a pancake by hand after greasing fingers with oil.

Transfer the pancake gently over the oiled tawa.

Sprinkle some oil over the pancake.

Cook well on both sides.

Transfer on to a serving plate.

Repeat the process to make other pancakes also.

Relish with any chutney or with tomato sauce.
