Akki Rotti
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.

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).

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