Sweet potatoes, coconutflour, chickpea flour, and all purpose flour come together with chipotle in adobo sauce, and fenugreek leaves to make this incredibly orange and incredibly tasty rotis -- flatbreads cooked on the griddle pan
The roti/adai is very easy to make, I have added some sauteed onions, chopped coriander, coconut to the whole wheat flour to make a soft dough and made the rotis, even beginners who find it difficult to make soft chappathis can make this
These Roti's can also be made just with coconut and flour and then be served with a sweet side. Originally they are made with All purpose flour and for kneading they use Coconut Milk, but i have avoided APF for the obvious reason and since i didn't have coconut milk, i have used half milk and half water
The most popular type of roti of Srilanka is Pol roti, this stove topped flat bread made either with wheat flour/maida or else Kurakkan flour which means finger millet flour or else a mixture of both flours and freshly scraped coconut
Extra flour for dusting. Easy CoconutRoti. *Substitute either olive oil or butter for the coconut oil. My first experience of Mauritian food was a roti – a flat bread filled with dal served from a wagon at the side of the road next to the fields of sugar cane
Most chutneys, especially Tomato chutney and Coconut chutney go very well with ragi rotti. Place a polythene sheet (or banana leaf if you are using it) on top of a board or the kitchen counter top
And as my adventures in South Indian cuisine continued I discovered that there are more than one ways to use this leaf (rather than simply throwing a sprig here and there in the dishes) like curry leaves chutney, curry leaves podi and using curry leaves in spice blends
In a spice grinder or small mixer grinder jar, take the cooled off the chana dal, coconut, green chili, and salt, add little water, grind into fine paste
