Happy Friday to all my readers! It’s back to basics in my kitchen, and I am sharing an authentic South Indian rice roti delicacy. I agree to be sent email.
What is Akki Roti?
Akki Roti translates to “rice bread” and it is a famous breakfast from the Karnataka cuisine. As this is a flatbread made from rice flour, it is very much like a crispy dosa with a healthy serving of garden-fresh vegetables. However, it is really up to you to make it crispy, soft, and chewy, but you definitely get the goodness from carrot, ginger, and dill leaves in a breakfast recipe. Not many breakfast recipes can claim that which makes it unique!
