Ingredients
- 1 cup rice flour
- 1/2 cup fresh avarekalu (hyacinth beans)
- 1/4 cup grated coconut (optional)
- 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- Salt, to taste
- Water, as needed
- Oil or ghee, for cooking
Instructions
- Start by soaking the avarekalu overnight if they’re dried; if fresh, just give them a good rinse.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, avarekalu, grated coconut, green chilies, cumin seeds, and salt. Mix it up well.
- Add water gradually to form a smooth, pliable dough. It shouldn’t be too sticky or too dry.
- Take a portion of the dough and roll it into a flat disc, about 6 inches in diameter. You can use a little rice flour to prevent sticking.
- Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat, then place the roti on it. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side. Drizzle a little oil around the edges.
- Flip the roti and cook for another 2 minutes until it’s golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat the process with the remaining dough, and stack the cooked rotis in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.
And there you have it! Serve your Karnataka Style Avarekalu Akki Rotti hot with some coconut chutney or a spicy pickle on the side. It’s a warm hug in the form of food that just hits differently. Enjoy every bite of this tradition!
