Orotti (Orati Orotti) – South Indian Rice & Coconut
Flatbread
Orotti, also known as Orati Orotti, is a beloved
traditional flatbread from South India, especially popular in Kerala. Made from
rice flour and coconut, it's naturally gluten-free, soft, and pairs beautifully
with a variety of curries and chutneys. This simple, wholesome bread is often enjoyed
for breakfast or dinner.
Ingredients:
- 2
cups of rice flour
- 1
cup of grated coconut
- 1 to
1.5 cups of hot water
- Salt
to taste
Instructions:
- Mix
the dry ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, grated coconut, and salt. - Add
hot water
Heat 1 to 1.5 cups of water until very hot (not boiling). Gradually pour it over the rice flour mixture while stirring with a spoon. Be cautious, as the water is hot. - Form
the dough
Mix until a soft, pliable dough forms. Once cool enough to handle, knead it for a few minutes until smooth and elastic. - Tip:
If the dough is too dry, add more hot water. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle
in a little rice flour.
- Shape
the Orottis
Divide the dough into small balls. Flatten each ball into a round disc (about 4–5 inches in diameter) using your palms or a rolling pin. - Cook
the flatbreads
Heat a griddle or tawa over medium heat. Cook each Orotti for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown spots appear. - Optionally,
drizzle a little oil or ghee on both sides for extra flavor.
- Serve
hot
Remove from the griddle and serve warm with your favorite curry, chutney, or even a simple dal.
Enjoy your soft and flavorful homemade Orottis
