Orotti

Orotti, the South Indian rice and coconut flatbread:

Ingredients:

2 cups of rice flour

1 cup of grated coconut

1 to 1.5 cups of hot water

Salt to taste

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, combine the rice flour and grated coconut.

Boil 1 to 1.5 cups of water until it’s very hot but not boiling. 

Gradually pour the hot water over the rice flour and coconut mixture while stirring with a spoon. Be cautious, as the water is hot. Continue mixing until you get a soft, pliable dough.

Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too dry, add a bit more hot water; if it’s too wet, add a touch more rice flour.

Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into round discs or patties, about 4-5 inches in diameter.

Heat a griddle or tawa over medium heat. Once hot, place the Orotti's on it. Cook for a few minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and develop light brown spots.

You can optionally drizzle a little oil or ghee on both sides while cooking for added flavor.

Remove the Orottis from the griddle and serve them hot with your favorite curry or chutney.

Enjoy your homemade Orottis!
