I'm going to tell about the simple Roti which is known as Dibba roti or Crispy Uttappam. Roti literally means bread and dibba means plumps. Even in Karanataka, they will do this dish which is called as “AKKi ROTI”. Basically this is the kind of dosai, but it is a thick one in which we will add onion, jeera and even soaked channa dal.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rice,
• 1 bunch curry leaves chopped,
• 1 bunch curry leaves,
• 1tsb cumin seeds,
• 5 green chillies,
• 1 small ginger,
• 1 big onion,
• 1 cup urad dal.

Preparation of Dibba Roti or Crispy Uttappam 0r Akki Roti:

To make batter, you need to soak 1 cup of urad dal i.e.., black gram and 1 cup of rice. Allow it to soak for whole night. Add ginger, green chilly and salt and grind it into thick course paste. When a batter is ready add chopped onions, cumin seeds and chopped curry leaves.

As this batter is thick in paste, we are not going to use the spoon or cup to pour it. Now pour some oil in the non stick pain. Take the batter and put it in the center and spread it in the pan with your hands. Make sure that you wont burn your hands. If you want to get it more crispy, then you can make small holes in between. Oil will make it fry well. You can even spread it with spoon but it will make the uneven texture. Once the top part gets cooked, turn it over . Here the crispy dibba roti is ready to serve. You can eat this Dibba roti with coconut chutney or ginger chutney or any pickle at home.
