How to make Akki rotti with step by step images

In a bowl add rice flour, chopped onion, green chilli, cumin seeds, curry leaves, chopped ginger, cilantro and salt. Mix well.
Now add water gradually to form a soft dough. (Make sure to add enough water to make a soft dough else the rotti will be hard)
Take a ziploc bag/ any cover. Grease it with little oil. Pinch a medium sized dough and keep in the center of the ziploc bag.
Flatten it gently with your fingers and spread it into a round rotti.
Gently remove it from ziploc bag and place it on preheated tawa. Drizzle some oil around it and cook in medium flame. When one side is done, flip and cook till brown spots appear. When done remove from tawa and serve it hot with chutney and pickle!
