Akki roti is a classic dish from Karnataka cuisine. The word akki means "rice" in Kannada, as it is prepared with rice flour. Unlike normal rotis, which are rolled with a rolling pin, this akki roti recipe is usually hand-patted on greased banana leaves or parchment paper and then cooked on a hot tawa or griddle. To make the dough for the akki roti recipe, use warm water in the correct proportion, little by little. Serve these golden-brown akki rotis with chutney powder or butter on the side.
This Indian flatbread has a chewy texture. However, unlike normal rotis that are rich in gluten, this masala akki roti is gluten-free and uses different herbs and spices that lend the dish its aromatic flavour. Due to its ease of preparation, it is quick to make for breakfast or an evening tea-time snack.
