Here is a variety of Rice roti made with fresh dill leaves.

Rice Flour - 2 cups
Onion 1/2 chopped finely
Dill leaves- 1/2 bunch chopped finely
Jeera - 2tsp
Salt as needed
Green chillies - 3 to 4 finely chopped
Curry leaves- a few
hing - a pinch


In a bowl add all of the above and knead it to a smooth dough by adding water.
The dough should neither be watery nor too tight, just soft enough to pat it with your fingers.

Take a non stick skillet , smear a 1/2 tsp of oil on the inside. Take a ball of the dough and place it at the center, pat it with your fingers as thin as possible and spread it evenly. Now spread another 1/2 tsp of oil on it.
Cover the skillet and cook on medium heat.After half a minute remove the lid, and let it become crisp.
Take it off from the skillet and repeat the same after cooling the skillet.
Enjoy the akki roti while its hot with some chutney.

Cooling the skillet

Keep the skillet under running cold water inverted, do not wet the inside, if the outer part is cool, you can easily pat the dough on the inside next time.
