Watch video for tips and instructions for making this Akki Rotti:
- Take all the ingredients in a big bowl ( except oil and water) and mix.

- Divide the dough into 18 to 20 equal parts.
Options to make rotti:
- You can banana leaves
- Or you can use 2 tava/kavali
- Or you can use banale/wok
- Or if you have only one tava
If you are using Banana leaves:
- Just warm the leaves, grease it and place the dough in the centre and press it gently to make a thin circle.( If the dough is sticking to the hand, grease the hand and then press). Make a hole in the center and few more around.
- Heat the greased tava on medium heat, transfer this prepared rotti onto the hot skillet, Pour the oil in the hole and around the edges too.
- After a minute or so flip it to the other side, and let it cook.
- If you want soft rotti, remove it early.
If you are using banale/wok:
- Grease the Banale generously. Take the dough and place it in the center.
- press it gently to make a thin circle.( If the dough is sticking to the hand, grease the hand and then press).
- Keep it on the stove on medium heat. Cover it and coot it until it turns golden brown.
- Turn off the heat and remove it after a minute.
- To make another rotti, wait until the wok/banale cools completely.
Using 2 Skillets:
- First, add a spoon of oil on the skillet and spread it around.
- Place the dough in the centre and press it gently to make a thin circle.( If the dough is sticking to the hand, wet the hand and then press).
- Now make a hole in the center and few more around. Pour the oil in the hole and around the edges too.
- Cover this rotti with a lid and place the skillet on the stove on a medium high heat.
- Once it becomes golden brown remove out the rotti (Usually takes 6 minutes).
- Meanwhile prepare the rotti in a same way on another skillet.
If you have only one skillet/tava then:
- After the first rotti is done,
- Turn the hot skillet upside down and run the cold water until the skillet cools down and then make the next rotti. ( be extremely careful while you follow this step)
- Repeat the same procedure for the remaining dough.
- Serve hot with ghee, coconut chutney or chutney powder.
