Ingredients
- 3 cups rice flour
- 1 large onion, finely diced
- 4 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 carrot, peeled and grated in the thin side of the grater
- ½ cucumber, grated and squeeze, discard the juice
- ½ cup dill,washed and finely chopped
- 4 tbsp roasted peanuts, coarsely crushed
- 2 tbsp white sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
- 2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tbsp salt
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cups hot water, not boiling but hot( you might not need so much water)
- Oil for cooking the rotti
Instructions
- In mixing bowl, add the rice flour, onion, green chilies, carrots, cucumber, dill, roasted peanuts, sesame seeds, cilantro, cumin seeds salt and mix everything well before adding the water.
- Add 2 tbsp of oil. Add ½ cup of water at a time. If the water is very hot to handle, use a wooden spoon to mix the dough. Mix everything well until the dough comes together. The dough will be sticky to the touch. It should all come together and not be dry. Make sure not to use all the water at once, you might not need all the water. Just use as much as you need to bring the batter together. Cover and let sit until ready to make it.
- Keep a griddle on medium heat. Let it get hot.
- Take a cotton cloth and wet it well. Sprinkle some water on the cloth, take a tennis ball size dough and pat it out with your fingers. You can make it as thin as possible, as you want.
- Using the edges of the cloth, carefully carry it over the griddle and slowly lower it on the griddle. Now, lift the cloth off the rotti. It will come off easily as you've used water. You could even use oil for flattening the dough out.
- Cook with a teaspoon of oil on both sides. It will cook in 2-3 minutes as we've used hot water to make the dough.
- Serve it immediately with some sugar or chutney of your choice.
Notes
Chopping the vegetables finely is key.
If you find you roti crack or dry, the dough might be dry, so add some more water.
As we use hot water to make the dough, you don't need to cook it for long. Cook it on medium heat and once you see it turn golden brown and crisp, it's done.
