Akki roti is a speciality bread from Kannada or Karnataka cuisine and usually served with pickles in breakfast, but it also tastes great with curries and stir fried veggies in the main course meals. The recipe to make akki roti is very much similar to that of Maharashtrian thalipeeth, but unlike a thalipeeth that has a combination of assorted flours, akki roti is made with rice flour or chawal ka atta. The one made purely with the rice flour is called ‘Plain akki roti’, but for a little variation in taste chopped veggies are often added to the rice flour. Hence you can experiment with your favorite vegetables like greens, cabbage, carrot, onion and make akki roti to suit your taste. Here we share you the recipe of ‘Menthya Soppu Rotti’ which is basically akki roti made with fresh fenugreek or methi leaves. This is slight chewy in texture and tastes great with chutneys and pickles in breakfast along with a cup of tea.

Did you know, ‘Akki Roti’ has different cooking techniques too and based on these techniques the texture or softness of these akki rotis changes. Akki roti made on kadhai or wok is known as ‘Bandli Rotti’, whereas the one made on banana leaf and cooked on tawa or skillet is called ‘Tattida Rotti’  whereas  ‘Balida roti’means akki roti made on skillet while smearing ghee or oil and ‘Ubbu Rotti’ is akki roti that has the softest texture and puffs up while cooking.



*Methi akki roti tastes wonderful in breakfast with peanut coriander chutney and homemade instant garlic pickle.

*For a healthy school or office lunch box, pack these flavorful methi akki rotis with khatte meethe aloo or achaari dum aloo along with mango pickle.

*In main course meals, methi akki rotis taste great with kadai egg curry or French beans and potato curry. Do not miss to team with khandeshi masala khichidi, onion green chilly n ginger raita and chickpea salad for a balanced meal.

Recipe Ingredients

  • Rice flour – 2 cups
  • Fresh fenugreek leaves (Methi) – A small bunch
  • Cumin seeds – 1 teaspoon
  • Asafetida – A pinch or two
  • Green chilly (Chopped) – 1 teaspoon or to taste
  • Ginger (Grated) – 1 teaspoon
  • Freshly grated coconut – 2 tablespoon
  • Salt – To taste
  • Ghee or oil – For cooking
  • Water – As required to make dough

How to make Menthya Soppu Rotti

  • To begin with making these flavorsome methi akki rotis we need to clean the fenugreek.
  • For this, remove the leaves from the stalks and wash to remove the dirt.
  • Next, chop these leaves into fine. You can also take help of your food processor.
  • Transfer these chopped leaves to a large mixing bowl. Combine rest of the ingredients except oil and make a dough with water.
  •  Remember this dough has to be wet and not firm as you usually make for paranthas. We have to spread this dough with hand without using rolling pin. Hence wet texture in dough is mandatory.
  • Cover this dough with a wet muslin cloth and keep to rest for 10 minutes minimum.
  • After resting, knead the dough once again. You can add more water if required.
  • Divide this dough into 7-8 equal size balls.
  • Now heat your skillet or tawa and greaze with oil or ghee.
  • Take a ball, put on the skillet and pat while spreading it into a circle. While doing this you can greaze your fingers with oil or water. This would ease out your task.
  • You can also spread the dough on a sheet of alumininum foil and carefully place on hot tawa.
  • Take care that the thickness should be uniform.
  • Drizzle some oil and cover tawa with a lid.
  • Check after a minute or so. The colour of roti would change to light brown and you can notice brown spots on the edges.
  • Flip it and cook on the other side as well, but this time without covering.
  • Remove from heat and continue the process with the remaining balls.
  • ‘Menthya Soppu Rotti’ or ‘Methi Akki Roti’ is ready. Serve with chutneys, pickles and do not miss to read our serving suggestions.
