Jump to Recipe

Akki Roti or Rice flour roti is a famous Breakfast from the Karnataka region of India made with rice flour. It is a Gluten free and Vegan Breakfast option.

I am so happy to begin my April Mega Blogging Marathon, where we will be blogging non-stop for the whole month. We do this as a group twice a year and each time we have a varied and challenging theme to work with. I am a big fan of A-Z themes and even if it is not given as a mandatory, I end up doing it. I did the same again this month and I will be doing A-Z scattered across 4 different themes.

Akki Roti | Karnataka Akki Roti | Rice Flour Roti (Vegan and Gluten Free)

My themes for this month's Mega BM are Breakfast recipes, Indian sweets, Street foods and Whole grains.

The first recipe for this month is Karnataka Akki Roti, a famous Rice flour roti from the state of Karnataka. I have heard a lot about this Akki Roti, but have never made it before. After I made this delicious rice flour flatbread recipe, I am sad that I did not make this much earlier. The kids loved it and had lots of praise for the recipe.

This a very filling breakfast and would keep you filled up for quite a long time. Also, the rice flour roti is very simple to make and can be made in about 15 minutes. Akki Roti uses very basic ingredients as well. I have used onions and carrots in my rice flour flatbread. We can also add grated cucumber, zucchini along with onion. This is a great choice for someone who is looking for Gluten free and vegan option for breakfast.

Preparation time - 10 minutes
Cooking time - about 10 minutes
Difficulty level - easy

Ingredients to make Karnataka Akki Roti - Makes 4

  • Rice flour - 1 cup
  • Carrot - ¼ cup (grated)
  • Onion - ¼ cup (grated)
  • Green chili - 4 (finely chopped)
  • Ginger - ½ inch piece (finely grated)
  • Cilantro - ½ cup (finely chopped)
  • Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
  • Salt - to taste
  • Water - as needed to make a soft dough
  • Oil - about 1 teaspoon per roti

Step by step Process

  • In a large mixing bowl, measure the rice flour. Add the rest of the ingredients in the bowl (except oil and water) and mix everything well.
Adding vegetables in rice flour to make dough
  • Slowly sprinkle water and mix everything to form a soft dough. Make sure the dough is soft and smooth.
  • Heat a cast iron pan or any flat pan to cook the Akki Roti.
  • We can pat the dough directly over the hot pan to make it into a flat roti. I shaped mine on a parchment sheet and then placed it on the hot tawa to cook. We could also use banana leaf or aluminum foil to shape the roti. Do not use plastic sheet as we will be laying the shaped roti along with the sheet on the hot pan.
  • Divide the dough into 4. Place one of the piece on a parchment sheet and using wet hands, shape the dough into a thin flat roti.
  • Slowly lift the shaped roti along with the parchment and flip it and place it on the hot pan.
  • Slowly peel back the parchment paper and poke few holes on the roti.
  • Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of oil around the rice flour roti and let it cook on one side. Carefully flip the Akki Roti and cook it on the other side.

    Your Akki roti is more flavorful and delicious as you added carrot and other veggies. I have tried only plain one not with veggies, I will give it a try.

    My parents are from Trinidad, so I’ve been eating roti for as long as I can remember. But I’ve never seen it like this or had it for breakfast! I will for sure have to share this with them

    Oh, that's terrific! I've been looking at some of the traditionally gluten free breads - I think that if someone has already figured it out, why wouldn't I use their knowledge? LOL This looks so delicious!

    It happens often that you see something delicious being made on a cooking show and decide to make it but then forget about it. Akki roti is one such dish. Your preparation is like a reminder that I have to try it. Looks so beautiful and delicious.

    Looking forward to your A-Z series. Akki roti is one of my fav as I lived in Karnataka for a while. Even I used to pat the dough separately, but learnt to pat it directly on the tawa. Yours has turned out so colourful and reminds me of the akki roti amma used to make.

    Excellent roti , so colourful ! Can you believe I have been making this since long and very often too , but never thought of Blogging ! I bind the dough with warm water which makes it more pliable .
    Beautiful beginning , looking forward to all your interesting posts .

    Looks delicious. Lovely start to the series. This is a favorite at home as well. These days, I have started using millet flours instead of rice flour to make this roti.
