This Soft flat bread is made from Rice Flour.This is a very popular dish of Coastal Karnataka. This is served with chicken curry or any meat curry.This goes very well even with Egg Kurma and some vegetable curry. This is even served with Red Coconut Chutney specially for breakfast.
We call it as Hanchi Rotti in our local Kannada language. This is also referred as Akki Rotti, Akki roti.Recently got to know, in Kerala it is called as ari pathiri.
In Native, We celebrate a unique festival called 'Bandi Habba' during the month of May.This is one special occasion where we all cousins meet.During one day of this festival, We invite all family and friends for feast dinner.Speciality of dinner is This Akki Rotti and Chicken Curry.Even on regular days mom always makes these with chicken curry.Mouth watering combination.
When I started cooking , I thought to make it and initially I tried doing with cold water as we do with normal wheat flour Roti/Chapati. It was really hard to roll it .Then got to know from mom that, we should work with hot water for this. Then asked proper steps from mom and finally I could make it. I wanted to post this from long time,but always ended up eating rather than clicking :). This time made sure to click it.
Hope you all like it. Do try this gluten free rice flour roti.
