Akki Rotti

 Akki rotti is one of the most popular breakfast items in a Kannadiga’s household. It is basically rotti(flatbread) made out of rice(flour). 


I like crunchy yet soft texture in akki rottis. Initially my akki rottis were turning out chewy rather than soft. Later in one of the recipes I found online for ragi rotti, I got to know about usage of avalakki(poha) which gave the desired results. Recipe for ragi rotti can be found here - ragi rotti. 


Enjoy these with some butter and coconut chutney!

Ragi(Finger Millet) Mug Cake

 If you are craving for some cake and want it instantly, and don’t want to get into the hassle of baking a whole cake + wait for an hour or so for it to bake +  then clean up after it’s done, then you should try mug cakes. These are so easy and they get done in 3-5 min max, then all you have to clean up is just 1 coffee mug!!! 

 

Mug cakes recipes have been circulating around in the net for many years now. For those who don’t know what it is - it is basically a single portion cake that you cook(bake) in the microwave in a coffee mug! 


But what’s special about this particular mug cake recipe is that it uses ragi.. RAGI! 

My kid who doesn’t like anything made out of ragi, loved this. 





This cake doesn’t taste like regular cake, you CAN taste ragi in it. This tastes like some exotic version of dark chocolate cake. If you are a dark chocolate lover like my kid, you will definitely love this. 


Do try this for Mother’s day this weekend and enjoy it guilt free! 


Happy Mother’s day!
