Akki/Raagi Rotti with onion

   Ingredients         

  Rice or Raagi floor 2 cups
  Chopped onion 1-1 1/2 cup
  Grated coconut 3/4 cup
  Green chilli 2-3 (chopped)
  Coriander leaves chopped
  Curry leaves chopped
  Jeera 1 tsp
  Salt to taste
  Grated carrot, methi leaves, baked peas, sabaski (rosemary leaves) and pudina (mint leaves)  are all optional

Procedure

• Mix all the ingredients in a bowl with water like for chapati dough. It should be pliable & not too watery.
• Take a tennis ball sized dough. Place it on a thick plastic sheet or "holige paper" (available in Indian markets and is reusable) which is smeared with oil.
• With your palm slowly start tapping the dough until it forms a thin circle (not too thin) around the plastic sheet.You can also add oil or water to your fingers tips while doing this.
• Heat a tava with a little oil at medium flame. Take the plastic sheet with the tapped dough and slap it onto the tava, dough side down. After a few seconds remove the plastic sheet slowly.
• Add 1-2 tsp of  oil on the rotti. Allow to cook on both sides.
• Serve hot with chutney, chutney powder, pickles, etc.

 Alternately, you can tap the rotti directly onto the tava. If so, allow tava to cool before starting the next one.
