Akki roti is a traditional flatbread made from rice flour, mixed with grated vegetables and greens for added flavor and texture. The dough is formed with minimal water, relying on the moisture from the vegetables. Cooked on a pan until golden and slightly crisp, this roti pairs beautifully with pickle or chutney.

Mix rice flour, salt, cumin seeds, grated cucumber, grated carrot, coriander leaves, mint leaves, greens, green chillies, and onion in a bowl.
Add very little water to the mixture to form a dough, as the grated vegetables and greens release moisture.
Allow the dough to rest for a few minutes.
Take a small portion of dough and roll it with your hands on a plastic sheet or banana leaf smeared with oil.
Place the rolled dough on a heated pan and cook on medium heat. Cover the pan with a lid.

Use banana leaf instead of plastic sheet for rolling the dough to enhance flavor and reduce waste.
