Kaarad Rotti (Spicy Rice flour Indian flat Bread) #Gluten Free #NationalVegetarianweek #Vegan

Kaard (spicy) Rotti (flatbread)!! In Kannada kaard rotti is nothing but south Indian flat bread which is made with spices.   Rotti is usually made with rice flour but as this rotti is made with chilli powder it is called a spicy rotti.

My neighbour Manu Aunty back home is the most wonderful lady I have ever come across, we get acquainted when I was 15 yrs Old!  I still remember it as if it was yesterday.   Our acquaintance turned into a strong bond.  I used to go with her to all her family functions!, I became one of her family members.  It was all such fun when we were young we used to enjoy so much going around with her to all the family trips and every family functions.  She is basically a Jain and I learnt a lot of cooking from her she was born and brought up from Mysore, but her parents were north Karnataka, you could see the touch of Dharwad, Belgaum, style in her cooking.  I learnt quite a lot of dishes from her and her relatives.  Remember the Maavinhannina Seekarne (Mango Milk Shake) I have posted long back, was one such dish I saw her family serve it with obattu(poli).  She makes obattu in a different way will post her recipe someday soon.

The Best are her Avarekaalu usli in the season with rice flour flat bread is simply awesome,  It will be so tasty.  I can keep writing about her cooking the whole day.  She is such a sweet lady I have never seen her with a sad face ever, she always has this beautiful smile feels like you are home.  She never sends anybody without serving them with some of her home-made delicacies.

Last time when I visited Bangalore, I always visit her as soon as possible, as she lives next door I jump to her house from our balcony!!, that's what I always do and my mum hates it, she thinks someday I might fall from there, but it's a quick way :).  So, when I went and knocked her door, she opened the door for me and we started chatting, we went straight to the kitchen as she was making morning breakfast and this is what she was making!!, I suddenly thought I want to capture it, I told her I will be back in a minute and jumped back into my house took my camera and came running back.  I had no props or anything but enjoyed taking photos of the process of favourite Rotti.., you can see step wise photos, hope you enjoy making and devouring it.

If you are familiar with making Ubbu Rotti/ Rice flour flat bread or Jowar Rotti this is one you can make easily as it is similar to that, You don't need anything special to serve this with as it is spicy already just with yoghurt it tastes really delicious.

Kaarad Rotti (Spicy Rice Flour Flat Bread)

Recipe Author: Jayasri
Recipe Source: Manu Aunty
Recipe Type : Breakfast/Indian
Prep time : 10 minutes
Cook time : 10 minutes
Serves : 3

Ingredients:
2 Cups Rice Flour
1/3 to 1/2 Cup Fresh Coconut
1 and 1/2 to 2 tsp Chilli powder
1 tsp Salt or as required
2 to 3 tbsp Finely chopped Coriander
1 Sprig curry leaves finely chopped
3/4 to 1 Cup of very warm water

Method:
In a bowl take Rice flour and all the other Ingredients except water, mix well now start adding water little by little for making a small ball. Don't make a ball with all the flour at once, It's better to make little by little.

You need to add rice flour liberally on to the surface and keep beating it around like you do in Jolada rotti turning it around so that it doesn't stick to the surface.

If you are unable to keep making it to round as big as she has made, it takes time to practice so, you can use rolling pin and make it to a round, don't forget to add rice flour liberally on to the surface now and then otherwise it will get stuck.  I would say start with little round balls and spread it more than your palm size to start with.

She has made a perfect round as you can see. slide it on to a plate and on to the tawa.

Once you have put it on the tawa, sprinkle water on top of it, so it gets wet all round, which helps in cooking.

Keep a wet cloth and press it around lightly this helps in making the rotti  fluff a little bit.

Add some oil on both sides of the rotti, and cook well on both the sides until you see little red spots.

Once it is done serve it with yoghurt which is really perfect for the summer weather.  I enjoyed it with some pickle.  She had more chilli powder so, it was very spicy and yoghurt was a good combo.  I went home and made the same breakfast but used less chilli powder so I served it with yoghurt and chutney powder mixed in it.
