Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Combine rice flour, finely chopped onion, grated carrot, fresh coriander leaves, salt, minced green chili, and cumin seeds in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Slowly add water, starting with half the cup, then gradually incorporate the rest as needed, mixing to form a soft but non-sticky dough.

  3. 3

    Divide the dough into 4 equal portions; oil your palms lightly and shape each portion into a smooth ball.

  4. 4

    Take one dough ball, flatten it between oiled palms, then gently press it onto a sheet of parchment or banana leaf, shaping a thin, even round about 6” diameter.

  5. 5

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Transfer the shaped roti onto the hot skillet, drizzle with a little oil around the edges, and cook for 2 minutes. Flip and cook the second side until golden spots appear and the roti feels cooked (total 3–4 minutes per roti). Repeat for all portions.
