Akki roti is a popular breakfast of Karnataka state of India. It is usually served with a chutney for breakfast and many families even prefer eating it for lunch with some yummy curry. It was during my trip to Nagarhole that I tasted these rice roti and got curious to learn it. We stayed in a homestay there where I learnt that it is also called Coorgi roti and they usually make it with leftover rice.
Watch this quick video to make these soft Akki roti!

I have never used rice flour before this is quite delicious looking and got my attention. I will sure want to try some of this it sure looks yummy!
Thank you CLaudia! Im glad you like it.
Rice roti are new to me, and they sound like a wonderful idea. With no use of wheat flour, as with usual roti, they will be lighter. With just the three ingredients, they are simple, easy to make and so useful to serve with a variety of dishes.
exactly! thank you 🙂
This looks and sounds absolutely delicious and would make a great dish for hosting! Pinning for later!
