Recipe
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, chopped onions, dill leaves, green chilies, grated coconut, cumin seeds, and salt.
2
Gradually add boiling water to the mixture, stirring with a wooden spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
3
Allow the dough to cool slightly, then knead it thoroughly with your hands until smooth and pliable.
4
Divide the dough into equal-sized lemon-shaped balls and keep them covered with a damp cloth.
5
Place a ball of dough onto an oiled banana leaf or parchment paper, and gently pat it out with your fingers into a thin, uniform round circle.
6
Invert the flattened roti onto a preheated, lightly greased tawa (griddle) and carefully peel away the leaf.
7
Cook on medium heat, drizzling a few drops of oil or ghee around the edges, until golden spots appear on both sides.
8
Serve hot with freshly prepared spicy coconut chutney.
