Sabsige soppu akki rotti is a rice flour flat bread and is prepared using rice flour, dill leaves, onion, green chili, coconut and cumin seeds.

Preparation time: 10 min
Cooking time: 30 min
Serves: 3
Ingredients: (measuring cup used = 240ml)
- 1.5 cup rice flour
- 2 cups water (little more or less depending on rice flour quality)
- One small bunch sabsige soppu or dill leaves
- 2-4 finely chopped green chilies
- 2 finely chopped onions
- 1/2 cup grated coconut
- 1 tsp cumin seeds or jeera
- Salt as per your taste
- 1/4 cup cooking oil
- 15x20cm sized thick polythene sheet / banana leaf
Instructions for making sabsige soppu akki rotti:
- Take water and salt in a big vessel and bring to boil.
- Meantime clean and finely chop the ingredients like dill leaves, onion and green chilies. Also keep the grated coconut ready.
- When the water starts boiling add in rice flour and switch off the stove. Give a quick mix.
- Next add in chopped onions, dill leaves, green chilies, grated coconut and cumin seeds. Mix well using a flat spatula.
- If required add either water or flour and prepare a soft but stiff dough.
- Smear oil on the poythene sheet or banana leaf. Place a tennis ball sized dough on it. Now apply oil to your fingers and start patting the akki rotti using your fingers. Please have a look on the video above.
- Keep applying oil to your fingers to avoid sticking. Pat the roti having around 15cm diameter. Make 3 to 4 holes using fingers.
- Carefully take out the Akki rotti from the plastic sheet and put it on the hot pan. You have to be carefull as well as quick at this stage otherwise you will end up in breaking the Akki rotti.
- Drizzle some oil. Wait for a minute and flip it to cook the other side of the rotti. Serve it hot with butter or curd or chutney.
- Please note, if you find difficult to pat the roti, make the dough little soft and pat the rotti or roti directly over the pan. After patting the rotti or roti, then keep the pan on the stove top and cook. You will need at least two pans to alternate.
