Akki Roti or Masala Rice Roti is a famous karnataka dish which can be served as a snack or for dinner. It is sure a better alternative to the usual dosas and its very quick to make too. Actually, this recipe was vaguely given by hubby which he got from his colleague. He rarely asks for anything specific so wanted to give a try the day he asked for it.As a food blogger and a responsible wife I made few adjustments here and there to come up with these akki rotis recipe ๐ He liked it so much and the best thing was this time with no complaints ๐
Ingredients:
Makes 10 to 12 rotis
- Rice flour – 1.5 cups
- Onions – 1 finely chopped
- Ginger – 1 tbsp finely chopped
- Chilli powder – 1/2 tsp (optional)
- Turmeric powder – a small pinch
- Jeera – 1 tsp
- Carrot – 1 medium sized, grated
- Coconut – 2 to 3 tbsp grated
- Coriander leaves – 1 tbsp finely chopped
- Hing – a pinch
- Green chillies – 1 finely chopped
- Salt – to taste
- Oil – to toast
Method:
- Take a wide bowl and add the rice flour first. Then crush the jeera with your hands and add to the rice flour.
- Add all the remaining ingredients one by one together except oil, add required water to form a soft dough. Be careful in adding water, add it little by little.
- Then take a polythene cover, drizzle a drop of oil and grease well. Pinch a small lemon sized ball and pat it on the polythene cover till very thin like chapathis.
- Heat dosa tawa and add the roti, drizzle oil and let it get cooked. Turn over otherside and allow it to cook well. Repeat this for all other rotis too, no need to grease the polythene cover each time, may be you can do it for alternative rotis. Serve hot with any chutney or even tomato ketchup. We had it as such itself ๐
After patting it into a thin circle, cut it with a lid if you want your rotis to look pretty and get perfect circles for the pics…yes I did that ๐
Isnt that a easy recipe, Dont have dosa batter for making idlis or dosa?! Try this instant akki roti for a change. Its quick, easy and very tasty. It doesnt need any side dish , isnt that great?!
This roti keeps soft for 2-3 hours. So try to consume hot, else it will become a little harder.
Looks so soft,the recipe is new to me,have to try out some time!
Wow the roti's look perfect and soft …. a gr8 idea for dinner ๐
Cheers,

Love the pillowy soft looks!!This is a new recipe,I have heard of akki roti[in Mangalore] which is a crispy roti,almost crisp like a papad which is paired with chicken curry,which makes the rotis soften the instant curry is poured on top.This version looks like a perfect instant breakfast!!
The stack of roti looks very soft and delicious. Making these rotis soft does require some practise.
The rotis look so good !
Prefect looking akki roti, have to make some soon..

I was wondering how you got those perfect cute circles! I can never t them with mine! And the last few sentences spoke it all! ๐ So perfect!
oh this roties looks just beautiful love the stack of them.
bookmarked, they look so tempting. I heard and ate it once, but never prepared it.
My husb fav, i tasted at my in laws place. Good one ๐
Tried it just as i saw this pic.. yummy..and i never knew we could easily make in tawa instead of the kadai hand style though it is a tradition..i dont get it right in kadai ๐ loved it sharmi..thanks ! ๐
Hi Sharmi, How should the dough be ? Like ulundhu Vadai Maavu Or looser than that ? Pls let me know dear.
@Priya : It should not be looser, it should be like kozhukattai maavu soft and slightly sticky.
Hi sharmi,
Hv a plan if tryin this today shall I use idiyappam maavu instead of rice flour?
Not really sure..I think it should work!
dear sharmi,rotti taste nalla irundhuchu.
but enakku thatta varavillai.
polythene coveril thatti edukkumpothu sariyaga varavillai.
what to do?
Yes its a bit tough but by practise you will get that right…the consistency of the dough is very important too..will add stepwise when I make it next time
Hey sharmi,
love ua blog, Iam married to a tamilian and ua tamil recipes make me win his heart each time
i make them.
But the akki roti really got me, it turn out well. Rottis wer hard and not chew-able ,Total disastor.
Greatest fan of ua vadai curry.
peace.
Oh….dont know where it went wrong…the trick is in toasting them well, if you overcook it will turn hard…may be that might be the reason
Hi Sharmi,
I Love this akki roti… I have never tried it before.. I'm planning to do It will be helpful if you post the step wise images for this too….since we can get the clear idea …. ๐ waiting for your nice clicks tooo …
Hi Sharmilee
I tried them today..but wasnt sure for how long i needed to cook them..turned out hard..please tell me approx how many minutes it will take each roti per side..
Just like how we make roti, just few seonds on each side,…will post the stepwise pictures soon
