Boiled Rice & Rava Rotti

Boiled Rice/Kichchakki - Rava Rotti is one of the tasty and healthy Rotti, that can be eaten for breakfast. We from South Canara always think of using Boiled Rice instead of White raw rice.
Normally raw white rice and boiled rice is used to make this rotti. Here I have used medium sized Rava/sooji/semolina instead of white rice or rice powder.


I have used boiled rice, rava, coconut and salt to taste. This kind of rotti is known as Balchattu means only simple rotti. This rotti is eaten with dals, chutney, jaggery and honey. ( Choice is yours ).
No Onion OR Garlic is used here in this rotti.
With the same batter I prepared Vadas. Rice Vadas are very famous and yummy. I used a very little jaggery which adds to taste,. ( The taste of sweet is very light ).
Things Needed :
Boiled Rice : 2 Cups
Rava : 1 Cup
Coconut : 1 Cup (Fresh and grated ).
Salt : As required
Oil : 2 to 3 Tablespoons

Method : 

1. Wash and soak boiled rice in Hot boiling water. ( Over Night ).
2. Grind boiled rice with required water. ( Use the water which rice is soaked ).
3. Remove it from the mixi jar to a bowl.
4. Add rava and 1 cup of grated coconut. Add required salt.
5. Mix it well and keep it aside.


6. Keep a tava on the fire and heat. Add a teaspoon of oil on the top.
7. Take a handful of batter and spread it with your fingers. Spread it as thin as you like. ( Let the flame be very low ).
8. Add little oil on the top and cover. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes . ( Medium and low flame ).


9. Turn the other side and cook for another 1 minute.


10.Now Boiled rice & Rava Rotti is ready to serve.


11. Serve with the choice of your side dishes.


12. Repeat the same and prepare remaining rotti.


Note :

Soaking boiled rice in hot boiling water helps the rice to be softer fast and grinds it well. Rotti turns soft too. Adding coconut while grinding rice is optional. Remember to reduce the flame to low while spreading the batter on tava. If the flame is high rotti can not be spread well and it sticks to the pan.
Time : 
Soaking boiled rice : Over Night or 6 to 8 hours + Grinding time 10 minutes + preparing time 20 minutes.
Serves : 3 to 4 

Preparation of  Akki Vade /Rice Vada :

Same batter +  1 Tablespoon Jaggery
Mix the batter well and Fry both sided on medium flame . Let it turn slightly golden brown.
It fluffs up like poori and eat it when it is hot.
