Shape the Rotis
Cook the Rotis
Add 1/4 cup of finely grated carrots, cabbage, or finely chopped dill leaves (sabsige soppu) to the boiling water along with the onions for added nutrition and flavor.
Incorporate 1/2 teaspoon of ginger-garlic paste and a 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder into the boiling water for a spicier, more aromatic version.
For an even softer texture, add 2 tablespoons of cooked, mashed rice to the dough while kneading.
Made entirely from rice flour, this roti is an excellent and delicious option for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

The inclusion of cumin seeds is known to stimulate digestive enzymes, promoting better digestion and gut health.
Fresh ingredients like onions, coriander leaves, and green chilies are packed with vitamins and antioxidants that help protect the body from cellular damage.

Yes, Rice Roti is a healthy choice. It is naturally gluten-free, low in fat, and provides complex carbohydrates for energy. The added vegetables and spices also contribute to its nutritional value. As with any food, portion control is important.
Cracking usually means the dough is too dry. This can happen if not enough water was used or if the water wasn't boiling hot. To fix it, sprinkle a little warm water and knead again until smooth. Also, ensure you knead the dough while it's still warm.
Rice Roti is best made and served fresh. However, you can store the dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before shaping and cooking.
It pairs wonderfully with South Indian accompaniments like coconut chutney, tomato chutney, sambar, or any vegetable curry (kurma).
Patting by hand is the traditional and recommended method as the dough is gluten-free and delicate. If you must use a rolling pin, place the dough ball between two sheets of greased parchment paper and roll very gently and evenly to prevent it from breaking.
