TRI-COLORED INDIAN BORAGE/DODDAPATRE RICE FLOUR ROTTI/ROTI
Wishing you All a very happy Independence Day
This is an evidently aromatic dish and the aroma is infused in it by the usage of the Indian borage/doddapatre leaves
It is Independence day today, so I wanted to make something of tri – color for the breakfast. So thought about it and made akki rotti/rice flour rotti by using grated carrot (orange), sago & rice flour (white) and herbs like doddapatre/Indian borage, coriander, curry leaves and green chili paste (green), which automatically became tri colored ! So simple and easy, regular breakfast recipe turned into tri color … isn’t it !!
We have one more little different kind of recipe of making rice flour rotti along with powdered sago/sabudana/sabbakki for your reference.
Ingredients : measuring cup used – 240 ml, makes 4 rotti
- Rice flour – 1 cup
- Sago – 1/2 cup
- Grated carrot – 1 cup
- Grated fresh coconut – 1/2 cup (optional) ( I have not put today)
- Doddapatre/Indian borage – 15 to 20 leaves
- Green chili – 2 to 4
- Coriander leaves – 1/2 cup
- Curry leaves – 2 to 3 strings
- Salt – to taste
- Water – 3/4 cup, to cook the sago (adjust)
- Oil – to spread the rotti
PROCEDURE :
- To begin with cook the sago using sufficient water ( I pressure cooked the sago using 3/4 cup of water and it was sufficient for kneading the dough as well, so I have not consumed any extra water) To pressure cook, first boil the water, then add sago, close the lid and give it one whistle
- Now finely chop or coarsely grind the all the four herbs ie … doddapatre, coriander, curry leaves and green chili
- Pass the cooked sago through the strainer and collect the water, if any (if you obtain any water, you can use the same for kneading the dough if required)
- Now in a parath/bowl , gather together rice flour, chopped/ground green paste, cooked sago, carrot and salt and knead into the dough and divide into 4 equal portions
- Grease the butter paper, take a portion of the dough and spread it evenly into a circular disc
- Roast on both the sides on a heated tawa and serve with any kind of accompaniment.
I have paired this rotti along with Grated apple pickle, made in the same procedure as the below recipe
