Sorakaya Sarvapindi/Rice Flour Rotti with bottle gourd

Sorakaya sarvapindi 

Sorakaya Sarvapindi is traditional breakfast/snack recipe of Telangana state, India. This is highly nutritious and also a very tasty breakfast to start the day. Usually sarvapindi/rice flour roti is prepared with either onion or bottle gourd. Rice flour rotti with onions is prepared almost in South India with regional names and preparations(Andhra – Biyyapu pindi rotte, Telangana- Sarvapindi, Tamilnadu – Arisi rotti, Karnataka – Akki roti). Today I’ve prepared sarvapindi/rice flour rotti with grated bottle gourd and rice flour as main ingredients. Required amount of rice flour, roasted peanuts, roasted sesame seeds, soaked Bengal gram, chopped green chillies, curry leaves are  added to grated bottle gourd along with required amount of salt. Dough is prepared with all the ingredients and rotti is made directly onto the kadai. Rotti is roasted drizzling oil on both sides. Here I present Sorakaya Sarvapindi which is served with ginger chutney. Njoy Cooking, Serving n Savoring!

8. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to form dough for making rotti.

9. Take a kadai season well with oil and spread the dough to make rotti shape evenly. Make three or four holes to roast uniformly. Drizzle groundnut oil along the edges of the rotti. Keep the lid and cook on low flame. 

10. After 3/4 minutes check the doneness on one side. If it’s done flip the other side and repeat the same. Switch off the flame.
