Steps

1. To begin making the Masala Akki Roti Recipe, add rice flour, carrots,cabbage,capsicum,onion, coconut, cumin seeds, green chillies, ginger, asafoetida and salt to taste into a large mixing bowl.
2. Mix all the ingredients well and then knead the dough adding little warm water at a time. The dough should be soft. We will require around 1 cup of water to knead the dough.
3. Once the dough comes to shape cover and allow Masala Akki Roti dough to rest for 10-15 mins.
4. After 15 minutes grease your palm and make large lemon size portions of the akki roti dough and keep aside.
5. Pre heat a non stick tawa or roti pan.
6. Now wet a muslin cloth with water or grease a plantain leaf. Grease your palm and place a portion of the dough at the center of the cloth. Using your fingers pat the dough to make circular discs of medium thickness.
7. Make three small holes in the akki roti for even cooking of the akki roti.
8. Preheat a skillet over medium heat and grease the skillet.
9. Carefully invert the akki roti onto the preheated pan and peel out the cloth or the leaf.
10. Cook the Masala Akki Roti on medium heat for a few seconds. Flip the roti and drizzle a teaspoon of oil around the roti and cook it on both sides until brown spots appear.
11. Once done, remove Masala Akki Roti from heat and serve warm.
12. Serve the Masala Akki Roti along with Coconut Chutney and Ghee for a breakfast or an evening tea time snack along with a hot cup of Filter Coffee or Masala Chai.
