Hi! This is Smita Deo and welcome to 'Get Curried'
I know you guys must be wondering where I disappeared
and now seeing my like this, little chubby, rolly-polly
you all must be thinking she is gone on a nice holiday and
eat a lots of food and put on weight.
Well, that's not true.
I was down with Covid
dealing with the after complications of Covid
on steroids.
But finally I am back
and I am looking forward to cooking again and
showing you all some amazing recipes.
Now let's make
a lovely traditional breakfast recipe from Karnataka which is the
Akki Roti.
Akki Roti is made
using different ingredients
some use Onions,
some use Cucumbers.
I am going to use Cucumbers to make the Akki Roti.
Here I have a medium Cucumber that I have peeled and grated
to that
I am going to add
one cup of Rice Semolina
which is Rava.
Three finely chopped Green Chillies,
a tsp of Ginger paste,
two tsp of Sugar,
and quarter cup of freshly grated Coconut.
Some Salt to taste
and finely chopped fresh Coriander.
Let's mix this.
Let's add little water to this
about half a cup
not much.
And let's keep this Batter to rest for five minutes.
I want the Sooji to absorb all the water
so that the Akki Roti doesn't become too hard.
I have kept a pan to heat here.
I am going to take
a handful of this Batter
and I am going to pat it on the pan
and just spread the Batter evenly.
I am not going to pat this mixture too thick or too thin.
Let's drizzle some Coconut Oil
and cover this and cook it for two to three minutes
on one side.
I am going to keep the flame to a medium-low.
So while the Akki Roti is getting cooked
I am going to show you how to make a simple Ginger Chutney.
For that, I am going to take
one cup of fresh Coconut which I have grated,
quarter cup of freshly chopped Coriander.
Let's add a cherry-sized Tamarind to this,
a tsp of Ginger paste,
or you can use half an inch of chopped Ginger.
I am taking two Green Chillies here,
you can take as per your liking.
A tsp of Cumin Seeds,
some Salt to taste
and I am just going to grind this.
Add a little water.
And our Ginger Chutney is ready as well.
Let's flip this.
Drizzle a little bit of Coconut Oil.
And after three minutes
our Akki Roti is ready.
Let's flip it and check if it's done.
Yes, it's looking beautiful.
Let's remove it in a serving platter
and repeat the same process for the remaining batter.
Let's serve the Chutney as well.
And our simple breakfast
of Akki Roti
and Ginger chutney is ready to be served.
You saw how simple this recipe is
and extremely delicious.
Do try this, let me know
and keep watching 'Get Curried'
