Ingredients

  • 1 cup Rice Flour / Arisi Mavu / Biyyam Pindi
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds / Jeera
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 Green Chillies finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup Rice Cooked opt
  • Water as required to knead to a dough

Instructions

  • In a bowl, take all the ingredients and knead well. Making the rotis with just plain rice flour is quite tough, so you can add in some cooked rice.
  • Ensure the cooked rice is soft and blends well.
  • Knead everything together, making sure the cooked rice is mashed well.
  • Slowly add warm water to the bowl to get the ingredients bind well.
  • Heat a tawa and grease with cooking oil.
  • Pinch out equal balls from the dough. You get about 6 rotis of 6 diameter.
  • On a plastic sheet or banana leaf, greast the surface with cooking oil, place the ball and using your fingers flatten it evenly.
  • When the tawa is hot, transfer the roti on to the tawa and cook on low flame and flip to the other side.
  • Each side takes about 2 to 3 mins to get cooked on low flame.
  • Serve with spicy chutney on the side.

Notes

This roti is very much similar to the Biyyam Roti / Biyyapu Rotte that's made in Andhra or the Akki Roti from Karnataka.
Rice Roti is not soft like the normal parathas or rotis. It is slightly hard and crispy. Rolling out this roti is also not possible since the rice flour is not pliable. You can enjoy this as a snack as well. We mostly make it for dinner serving with Groundnut chutney.
Most times we add onions, coriander leaves to enhance as well. You can add in different veggies as well.
