Oroti

Oroti could be the cousin of the more popular Akki Roti. Akki Roti is spicier but the method used for both is similar.

Ingredient

1.      Rice Powder – 2 cups

2.      Boiling Water – 2 Cups

3.      Shredded Coconut – ¼ Cup

4.      Salt to taste

 

Method

 Pour the boiling water over the rice flour and add salt and coconut. Mix it with a spoon and let it cool down enough so that it can be kneaded with the hands. Divide the dough into equal balls and press each down on an oiled surface.

It can also be pressed down on the tava itself. Wet your hands occasionally to make it easier. Place each roti on the tava and close it with a lid. Wait for a few minutes and turn it over. Close it with the lid again.

After a few minutes you can take the lid off and let it get crispy. Since this will take some time, one can have more tava’s if you can spare.


You can have this roti with no accompaniments or like me you can have it with an egg roast.
