#reshkitchen - These are some simple and delicious rotis / chapatis (flat bread) made out of rice flour. It is a popular Karnataka special breakfast, relished with chutney, pickles or any side dish. They are very wholesome and can be had as it is or as a snack.

To make them more appetizing, onion, ginger, green chilies, grated fresh coconut, coriander leaves and other dry spices are added. I gave a slight twist to the original recipe by adding some kasoori methi (dry fenugreek leaves) and fried onions.

Steps

1

In a bowl mix together all the ingredients (except oil to shallow fry). Add hot water and mix it with a spoon. Then knead into a dough with your hand and keep aside for 10-15 minutes.
2

Divide the dough into 5 equal portions. Take one portion and spread directly on a greased tawa / griddle with the help of your fingers.
3

Keep a bowl of water alongside for wetting your fingers in it in order to spread it evenly and as thinly as possible into a round circle.
4

Make few holes in it and fry on a medium flame by drizzling oil in the holes and around the edges.
5

Fry on one side before flipping it over to fry on the other side. You need to keep two griddles to make similar rotis with the rest of the dough.
6

Or you can simply place the back side of the tawa under running water for a few seconds till it has cooled down. Then grease it and make similar rotis. Serve with coconut chutney, pickle or any side dish.
