Aaki Roti/Rice Roti

Now a days summers in Bangalore are also hot. Twelve years back in year 1999 when I first came to city it was a hill station. Time has changed. In these 12 years I've learned a lot from this city. I am going to share a recipe which is named as Aaki roti or rice roti and i learned this from kanadigas. Sindhi's too make rice roti. I tried this recipe because my one and a half year old son Aarav was not eating the regular wheat chapati and i have to try something different and unique for him. Aarav loved it and had two akki roties. That made my day.

Did you know?

• Rice is the second highest worldwide production after maize (corn). Since maize is mostly grown for purposes other than human consumption, rice is the most important grain for human consumption.
• There are more than 40,000 varieties of rice that grow on every continent except on Antarctica.
• Some research shows that rice may have been indigenous to India over 4,000 years ago and moved eastward to Indochina and to Southeast Asia.
