Akki Rotti is a rice-based breakfast item unique to the state of Karnataka, India but extremely popular. Akki means rice in kannada. Rice flour is used to make rotis.
In this recipe I used Brown rice flour. Brown
rice flour is a nutritious alternative to white rice flour and is naturally
gluten-free. It is high in protein, iron, fiber and vitamin B. Brown rice flour
is rich in manganese, which helps in the proper development of bones and
cartilage.
This Akki roti is more crispy and very tasty. Enjoy!!
