Akki Roti

My husband took me to an Indian restaurant one day to give me a taste of what he called "the best breakfast ever". I tried to make it at home, took a lot of effort, and a lot of mess, but this comes pretty close to what we ate.

Ingredients:
Rice flour: 3 cups
Cumin (Zeera): 3 to 4 tsp
Ginger: about a 1 inch piece chopped finely
Onion: 1 chopped finely (red onion tastes best)
Cilantro: As per taste, chopped
Green chilies: 4 (chopped finely)

Method:
Grease a large mixing bowl. Mix onions, rice flour, zeera and salt.
Add some hot water to the above mixture.
Let stand for 5 minutes.
Add the green chilies, ginger and cilantro.
Mix well to make a semi-firm dough (gare dough consistency).
To make: shape into ball and flatten with wet hand on a tava. As an alternate, you can flatten in between plastic sheets and place on the griddle. (I find the first option easier)
Add one tsp oil around the sides
Let cook thoroughly on one side before flipping and cooking the other side.
Serve hot with tomato or ginger pickle.
