Salt
Oil - to roast

Method:

1. Add onion, coconut,green chilli, coriander, Curry leaves,dil leaves,soaked bengal gram,cumin seeds and salt in a wide mixing bowl.Mix it nicely by crushing onions with your hands for few minutes. This brings out more flavors from them.
2. Add rice flour to it.Start adding water little by little and mix it nicely to form a dough.
3. The dough should be such that its easy to spread / pat with hands. It should not be too hard ,smooth-firm dough.
4. There are two ways in which you can spread the rotti on the tawa :
5. Method 1 ---->Grease a plastic sheet / aluminum foil / parchment paper /banana leaf .Take an orange sized dough and pat it evenly with your hands to a medium thin pancake.Wet your hands in between with water to ease the patting.Make a hole on the rotti so that they get cooked uniformly.
6. Heat the griddle.When its hot ,put the sheet on the griddle ( rotti side facing the griddle ). Cook the rotti along with the sheet for 30 sec and then slowly remove the foil.Rotti gets transferred from sheet to the griddle.
7. Method 2 ----> use two - three tawas to make these rottis. Grease the cold tawa and take orange sized dough and pat it evenly on the cold griddle to a medium thin pancake.Switch on flame and cook on medium flame.Do not attempt to pat the dough on hot tawa as the dough doesnot spread well. How to cool tawa quickly ? refer NOTES
8. Once you have patted rottis using method 1 or 2 ,cook them medium heat.Pour some oil in the holes and all over the rotti.Cover and cook till it becomes slightly brown in colour. Then flip the rotti and continue cooking for about a minute or so till the rotti becomes crispy.
9. Akki rotti is ready to be served. Serve it coconut chutney / chutney powder + yoghurt / chutney powder + butter. Enjoy them as your heart weekend breakfast / Snack / Dinner .
