Akki Rotti

While just browsing for recipes and treating my eyes with lovely foodie pics,(which happens to be my every afternoon routine!) I stumbled upon this blog 'Cooking4allseasons' by Srivalli. I see an event being hosted 'Roti Mela' and it ends in 2 days. I was excited. Very first recipe that came to my mind was Akki Rotti. I just love it when lots 'n lots of veggie is added.

Thus Akki rotti & Pudina chutney is our lunch today.

You Need:

Rice flour - 2 cup
Carrot - 2 cup, grated
Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
Green chilly - 3-4, finely chopped
Cilantro - 1/2 cup, finely chopped
Ginger - about an inch, finely chopped
Cumin - 1 tbsp
Salt - 1 tsp or to taste

You Do:

• Mix-in all the above ingredients. Now add about 1-1/2 cup of water, bring everything together to form dough.
• Add 1 tbsp of Oil, gently knead. Resulting dough will be soft.
• Smear oil onto a tava. Take about a ball-sized dough, place it at the centre of tava. Flatten with fingers until it is round. (wet fingers with oil, to avoid dough sticking to it.)
• Cook on med-high until you see edges separating from tava. Turn it and roast on the other side for few minutes.
• Serve hot with chutney. Enjoy!

Avocado Chapati

Avocados caught my eyes the very first time I went to a store in the US. I grew curious as to how would it taste. One day, I actually bought one but to my disappointment it was too bland. What do I do of it now? Sometime back I had come across this recipe of chapati using avocado in Indira's site Mahanandi. Good that I wouldnt have to throw it away. I gave it a try and it turned out real soft and smooth. Thank you Indira.
But I wonder if I will buy avocados again ;)



You Need:

Wheat Flour - 1 cup
Ripe Avocado - 1
Salt - 1/2 tsp
Red chilly powder - 1/2 tsp
Cumin powder - 1/2 tsp
Water - enough to make dough
Oil


You Do:

• Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Remove the pit, either with a spoon or by spearing with the tip of a knife. Scoop out the flesh using a spoon and mash into a smooth paste.
• Mix in all the dry ingredients and avocado paste, to knead a smooth dough. Rest dough for 15-20 min
• Make chapati as usual. Enjoy!
