Akki Rotti is one of the famous breakfasts in Karnataka. Akki means rice and Roti means flatbread. In other words, Akki rottis are flatbreads made with rice flour and mix veggies. You can also call them as rice flour roti or rice thali peeth.

Usually rotis are rolled, but these Akki rotti dough is patted with hands. A plantain leaf (Baale ele or keliche pan) is best to pat these rottis. moist cotton napkin, butter paper, parchment paper or aluminium foil can be used to pat and then transferred to tawa for roasting. 

For making Akki Rotti recipe Karnataka style | Akki Rotti recipe for Breakfast I personally prefer plantain leaves. But I do not get them handy here at my place, so I have used aluminium foil.

I have shown two methods of patting the dough one directly on tawa and the other on aluminium foil. You can make them according to your convenient method. 

As you can have Akki rotti for breakfast or lunch, you can make it still healthy by adding veggies of your choice to the dough. In this recipe, I have added only onions and coriander leaves. Freshly grated coconut is also good to add.

Other veggies you can add are cabbage, drumstick leaves, bottle gourd, spinach, fenugreek leaves, cucumber and amaranth. But these rottis taste excellent with dill leaves or shepu bhaji or sabbasige soppu.

2. Onions: Two medium
3. Coriander leaves: A handful

Methods -1 for making 

Akki Rotti recipe Karnataka style | Akki Rotti recipe for Breakfast

• As I said earlier using plantain leaf for patting roti is best option. As I didn’t get them I have used aluminium foil. 
• Take a medium ball sized dough, apply oil on foil and start patting rotti using your palm and fingers.
• Make as thin as possible for crispy rotti or else you prefer soft one then keep it little thicker. 
• Place the tawa on gas and heat it, keep the flame medium and transfer the patted rotti on tawa. Slowly remove the foil.
• Cover the lid and cook for two minutes. The flip and cook the other side. Apply oil or ghee. 
• Serve hot with chutney or any side dish you prefer.

Methods -2 for making

• Instead of using plantain leaf or foil or paper you can pat rottis directly on tawa itself.
• Take medium ball sized dough, apply oil on tawa and pat the rottis using your palm and fingers.
• Put the tawa on gas on medium flame. Cover the lid and cook for two minutes. Then flip the rotti and cook again till crisp.
• Prepare akki roti using the method which you prefer.  This second method takes longer as you have to wait for the tawa to cool down.
• Otherwise, you can use two tawas side by side to make rotti. In this way you can alternate between two tawas.
