Rave Rotti - 2

 Tried this delicious rave(semolina) rotti recipe some time back. We as a family love our rottis. Rottis are basically thick pancakes made with stiff dough(batter) often made with rice flour/ ragi flour/ rave(semolina). Check out their links. 

Traditionally rottis are patted on a banana leaf and transferred to the hot tava. But this rotti is spread with your hands(or ladle), more like a dosa. So one step made easy. I got this recipe from vegrecipesofkarnataka (link given below).  

Enjoy this traditional breakfast with some coconut chutney and some butter. 

Rave rotti

I don’t know what I was thinking when I stored upma rava in the spot where I generally store idly rava. It was bound to happen sooner or later that I soaked regular uppit rava instead of idly rava while making idli. Not knowing what to do with the soaked rave, I asked my mother. She suggested I can either make rave dose or rave rotti. I had never tried rave rotti before, even though many people had given me the recipe. I really loved the taste. It was crunchy and soft at the same time. Very easy recipe. Even kids will love it.

Simple breakfast item.

Do try! 

Raagi Rotti

Hallelujah!! 

Finally, finally, finally I mastered the trick of getting perfect rottis. I like my rottis crunchy and soft at the same time. They never came out that way. So as usual, anytime I see some new technique online, I would try.. try.. try. But my search has ended with this particular recipe on Udupi recipes website(link given below). Do check it out, it has some great Udupi recipes I refer to on and off. 

My ragi rottis were so hard and chewy before. With this method they were crunchy when hot and soft after cooling down. The trick is - use soaked avalakki(poha)! I had seen in some places people put cooked rice in the dough, probably for the same reason. Poha is so much better and easier. I have followed the recipe for most part but for few things here and there. Do try!
