Akki rotti (rice flour bread)

Growing up in southern India, I came across many unique recipes. One of them is akki rotti.
Akki rotti with coconut chutney makes a yummy brunch!

Ingredients:
1. 2 cups of rice flour, and some for dusting
2. 1/4 cup of roasted peanut powder
3. 3-4 green chillies, finely chopped
4. 1/2 cup of finely chopped onion
5. 1/4 cup of finely chopped fresh cilantro
6. Salt to taste
7. Oil for smearing

Method:
1. Heat 2-3 cups of water
2. In a mixing bowl add all the ingredients
3. Use the hot water to make a soft dough. Note: amount of water is according to your need
4. Make small balls out of the dough
5. Keep tawa/griddle on a medium flame
6. Use a parchment/cookie sheet or thick plain plastic paper for rolling the rotis
7. Smear the cookie sheet with some oil and with wet palms flatten the ball on the sheet to a flat roti
8. Dribble some oil on the griddle
9. Put the rolled dough on the griddle slowly removing from the cookie sheet
10. Cook it on a high flame for about 2-3 minutes or until the side is baked
11. Now cook the reverse side of the roti until it is baked well
12. Remove the roti and store it wrapped in a cheese cloth in a airtight container

Serve with chutney of your taste. I usually make coconut chutney to go with it.
