Akki Otti (Cooked rice rotis)

I had this delicious dish for the first time in Coorg at a friend’s house. Immediately I took the recipe from her and now I make it for breakfast once in a while.

Ingredients:

Cooked (left over) rice - 1 ½ cups for 2 ottis

Rice flour          - 1 heaped tbs

Salt to taste

Water as needed

Method

- Mash the rice nicely with the hand or use mixi.

- Add salt and the rice flour and knead into a smooth dough, adding a little water if needed.

- Make into balls, spread out into round. You can use the puri maker to do this. Take a plastic sheet and apply oil. Keep the dough ball on the plastic sheet kept on the puri maker, fold the plastic over and press it down.

- Roast on a heated thava on medium flame. Turn it and roast from the other side. Put over flame and let it puff up.

- Apply ghee and serve with egg curry, vegetable curry or stew.
