This is a soft roti made with rice flour and

coconut.

This is like the Srilankan’ Pol roti ‘which I have

posted earlier . ( with all purpose flour and

coconut). The only difference is the addition of

hot water. Both rotis contain their uniqueness

in taste ,but this has a softer texture .

To this I innovated a ‘ fried onion katta sambol’

which was a wonderful match for the roti.

I will be sharing both recipes

So let’s go to the roti recipe first

INGREDIENTS

200 gm rice flour ( slightly roasted for 5

minutes)

1/2 of a coconut grated

Salt to taste

1 tblsp oil

Boiling hot water

METHOD

Mix in the oil and salt to the flour . Pour hot

water till the dryness of the flour is not seen .

Allow to cool add coconut and knead to a fine

dough ( 5 minutes).

Roll it on a floured / oiled board ( cut into

uniform circles if you like).

Heat a griddle ( normal one is best for this ) .

If your using a non stick no need to apply oil .

Smear oil lightly on the tawa .

Once hot cook rotis one by one on both sides.

Serve with onion sambol

Now to the recipe for fried onion sambol
