    Angakar Roti | Rice Roti - Chattisgarhi Breakfast

    Published: Apr 6, 2014 · by Nisha

    One of the best features about this month's marathon is that both the audience and the blogger get a virtual Indian tour. The gastronomical research lead us to see much more beyond the recipes. We know about the state, its people, their culture and custom. All my friends participating in this Indian odyssey would agree with me. But I have a special reason to like this theme a tad more and feel happy about it. The reason is that I have never travelled beyond South India. Yes! I am a bit embarrassed to admit this, but that's the truth. All my childhood days I spent shuttling just between two cities - Hyderabad (my native) in Andhra and Trichy (my hometown) in Tamil Nadu. Apart from the two, I went to Goa for my college, Indore a week and Bangalore for my work. So that covers my entire South Indian journey. Somehow the travel and vacation didn't work well in our family. Something or the other got in our way. Till date, there is a slight nagging at the back of my heart that I have a long list of must watch places in India.

    Angakar Roti | Rice Roti - Chattisgarhi Breakfast
    Now, being miles away from roots, India visit is always restricted to hometown. The worst thing is that I love travelling and now as an adult I have travelled a lot but in India. On the contrary, H has travelled in and out. He has visited every major city as a child as his family is vastly spread across the country. Now, his travel takes him to so many places and he loves adding fuel to the fire with his photos and sightseeings. Sigh. Well, my point is, I am enjoying this run thoroughly. The aim of this blog is to chronicle as many Indian recipes as possible. The Indian subcontinent has so many hidden culinary treasures that are not well known to the rest of the world; even we Indians are not aware of most of them. This series really aids in bringing it out and thanks to Valli for this.
    Angakar Roti | Rice Roti - Chattisgarhi Breakfast
    This morning's breakfast is from Chattisgarh, a newly formed central state in India. Rice being the staple cultivation there, one would find it used extensively. This recipe known as Angakar roti, is very similar to the extremely popular Akki roti prepared in Karnataka. A simple rice-based dish from the tribal group of the state.
    Stepwise pictures to aid you in patting the rotis easily and hassle-free.

    Angakar Roti | Rice Roti, hand flattened roti made with rice - Chattisgarhi Breakfast.
    Course: Breakfast, Main Dish
    Cuisine: Indian
    Servings: 6
    Author: Nisha
    Ingredients
    • 1 Cup Arisi Mavu | Rice flour
    • ½ teaspoon Jeera | Cumin seeds
    • ¼ teaspoon Omam | Carom seeds optional (1)
    • Salt to taste
    • 2 Green chillies finely chopped
    • ½ Cup Cooked Rice optional (2)
    Instructions
    1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Sprinkle water little at a time and knead it. This will not be a pliable dough. The dough should be soft without excessive stickiness.

    2. Divide the dough into six portions.
    3. Either take a parchment sheet or a plastic sheet (spread some oil on it). Take each portion and pat them with your hand and shape it into a disc. (3)
    4. Heat a griddle | tawa in the meantime. Once it becomes hot, take the shaped roti from the sheet carefully and place it on the tawa. Refer the above pic for transferring it easily.
    5. Cook on both sides until they get cooked and brown spots appear on each side. (4)
    Recipe Notes
    1. Omam is not added in the original version. I just added this spice for our liking.
    2. Cooked rice helps in binding the dough. This is optional.
    3. The dough will be stick to your hands and tear while patting it. There are few tricks you can follow to make it mess free. So you can wet your hand and pat it. But take care, too much of water will be a disaster. You can also apply oil to your hand or dust it with flour. See which suits and adapt accordingly. Please refer to the picture above the recipe.
    4. This roti will not be soft like the normal parathas or rotis. It is slightly hard and crispy. Rolling out this roti is also not possible since the rice flour is not pliable. This is very similar to the akki roti made in karnataka.

    This post falls under the Chattisgarh state of central India. Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM# 39

      Looks lovely. As you mentioned, a basic version of akki rotti. And is that eggplant curry in background?

      Most of the snack recipes, involve the use of rice/rice flour,showing it is the rice bowl of central India. Love these delicate breakfast beauties.
