  • 2 tsp green chillis finely chopped
  • 1.5 tsp ginger garlic paste
  • 1.5 tsp white sesame seeds
  • 1.5 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1.5 tsp red chili powder
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup carrots shredded
  • 3/4 cup onions finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup dill leaves finely chopped
  • 2 cups water You may need more or less (see recipe notes)

For cooking

  • 3 tbsp peanut oil any neutral flavored oil will also work. You need approximately 2 tsp oil for every Roti.

Instructions

Instant Pot Edamame Beans

  • Edamame beans cook really well in the Instant Pot. To cook edamame beans in an electric pressure cooker, place 1.5 cups frozen edamame beans in a steamer basket.
  • Add 2 cups water to the inner pot of the Instant Pot. Place a tall trivet into the inner pot. Now, place the steamer basket over the tall trivet.
  • Close the Instant Pot, turn the VALVE to SEALING. Press Pressure Cook- High and set the timer for 1 minute.
  • Allow the cooking cycle to complete. When done, press CANCEL and do a gradual quick pressure release by turning the VALVE to VENTING.
  • Open the lid and let the beans become warm to touch.

Making Akki Roti Dough

  • Mash the edamame beans well with a potato masher. Set aside.
  • To a bowl, add rice flour, spices and seasonings along with carrots, onions, dill leaves and mashed beans.
  • Combine this to make a crumbly mixture.
  • Add water little by little and mix everything into a slightly loose dough.

Shaping the dough into Roti

  • Grease a sheet of parchment paper with 2 to 3 drops of oil.
  • Take an orange sized portion of the dough and place it on the parchment paper.
  • Wet your hands and pat the dough into a slightly thick circle.
  • Make three small holes in the middle of the shaped Roti.

Cooking

  • Heat a cast iron Tawa.
  • Now, transfer the shaped roti onto the Tawa and peel back the parchment sheet gently.
  • Drizzle a tsp of oil around the edges and in the middle of the Roti.
  • Cook covered on low heat for 1 to 2 mins, until you see no raw dough on the surface.
  • Now, flip and continue to cook uncovered until the edges crisp up and brown spots appearing on the side that is cooking.
  • When done, flip and cook for 30 to 40 seconds to crisp up the Roti on both sides evenly.
  • Serve hot.
