Akki Rotti (Rice Flour Roti)

Akki (Rice) rotti or Ubbu rotti is bit difficult to prepare and I feel it needs lots of experience like practice makes perfect.

Usually this rotti cooked on the tava first, when it is half done it is to put on the charcoal fire and it fluffs up like pulka. thats how it got its name Ubbu Rotti. Now a days it is easy since, we have all the modern facilities like gas.  I have tried this rotti only cooking on the tava.
Akki (rice) is a palate food of South Indians. People eat rice and rice items most of the time. They also prepare different types of rice items like, Idly, dosas, rotti, different types of rice items like the list go on. I liked this perticular Rotti since it has no oil and its healthy and yemmy. Its not at all heavy.
