Akki Rotti in Kannada

Akki Rotti in Kannada is a rice-based breakfast item unique to the state of Karnataka, India. Akki-Rotti means rice-pancake in the native language Kannada.
It is made of rice flour which is mixed with salt and water and kneaded well to make a soft dough.
Then sliced onions and carrots, chopped coriander, cumin seeds and sesame seeds can also be added while kneading the dough.
Oil is spread over a
