Riceflour Rottis (seasoned pancakes)

[sanilss]

Riceflour Rottis (seasoned pancakes) Riceflour is used to prepare rottis. This is a simple dish that originates from Karnataka state in India. It is very easy to prepare and you can get creative by adding your own seasonings. The rottis look like thick pancakes. These can be served with any type of sauces or "yoghurt" dips.

You'll need

3 cups rice flour (to make about 5-6 rottis)
half-tea-spoon chilli powder
3 medium finely chopped onions
2-3 finely chopped tomatoes
Grated carrots
4 tea spoons oil
one-fourth tea-spoon salt

Mix the rice flour, vegetables, salt, chilli powder. Boil some water and pour it in the mix. Don't add too much water (DON'T make it watery). Just add some approximate amount of water and it can be adjusted later based on consistency required. Leave this mix aside for about 20 mins. Allow it to cool.

After it has cooled down, add the oil (4 tea spoons) and knead the mix well. The dough should not be too soft or hard. If needed adjust the consistency using water and riceflour.

Now use some grease-proof paper, apply some oil to it. Take some dough (as big as a golf ball). Place it on the paper and pat evenly till it flattens out.

Heat up a non-stick flat pan for 5 mins in medium heat. Transfer the rotti to the pan. Turn sides after 2 mins approx.

Approx heating time per rotti is 3-4 mins.
