Today I got dill and wanted to use it in a dish where I can really smell and taste it. I remember, when we lived in B'lore, India, they use it in "Akki Roti" which is nothing but roti made with rice flour. Recently I came to know from my hubby that similar kind of roti they make in Kerala also and call it as "Pathiri", but they don't use dill in it. So I thought of making this my own way!
-----------------
1 bunch Dill washed and chopped finely
2 cups Rice Flour
2 cups Water - very hot/boiling
Salt to taste
1-2 Green Chilies chopped
1 Onion chopped
1 tsp Cumin seeds
1 tsp Oil
Method:
------------
1. In a mixing bowl add rice flour, salt, dill, green chilies, cumin and oil, mix well.
2. Now add boiling water and mix it with a wooden spoon until the dough is hard to mix anymore.
3. Now knead the dough on a clean surface or if the bowl is big enough you can do it in the bowl itself, make sure you don't burn your hands, as the water will be hot.
4. After you make a ball out of it. Cover the bowl with a wet paper towel and let it rest for about 10 -15 mins.
5. Now cut a butter paper into a square shape.
6. Meanwhile heat a non-stick pan or dosa pan.
7. Make lemon size ball one each time out of the dough and cover the dough again so that it does not dry, keep a bowl of cold water to your side to dip your hands in.
8. Place the butter paper, and place the ball on top, dip your hand in water and press the ball down gently to form a medium size circle, make sure the roti is not too thick or too thin.
9. Now lift the roti along with the butter paper and place the roti side on the pan and gently remove the butter paper so that the roti will stick to the pan.
10. Cook this roti on a medium flame, drizzle with some oil on one side or both and cook around 4-5 mins on each side.
11. Serve this with Coconut chutney or chutney or your choice or sambar.
