Akki Rotti is a Karnataka-style rice-flour flatbread studded with soaked mung beans, coconut, carrot, and warm spices for a toasty, aromatic bite. The edges turn crisp while the center stays tender, making it satisfying on its own or perfect with chutney or pickle for breakfast, a light lunch, or a snack.

Akki Rotti
  1. 1

    Cover the mung beans with the water and refrigerate overnight. The next day, drain the beans and save the soaking water.

  2. 2

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mung beans, rice flour, cumin seeds, green chile, asafoetida, cilantro, coconut, shredded carrot, and salt. Gradually add the water, mixing thoroughly with your hands to make a workable dough, using only as much water as needed (about 1/2 cup).

  3. 3

    Shape the dough into tennis ball–sized balls and set aside. Flatten one portion of dough into a thin round.

  4. 4

    Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Place the rotti in the oil and fry until golden brown, about 30 to 40 seconds.

  5. 5

    Flip the rotti and fry until golden. Repeat with the remaining dough, adding 2 tablespoons of oil to the griddle for each rotti. Serve hot.
