Recipe (ಮಾಡುವ ವಿಧಾನ):

Put semolina, cumin seeds, chilly powder, asafoetida, salt in a vessel. Mix well by adding sufficient amount of water. Keep it aside for about 30 mins.

Add chopped ingredients, crushed coconut mixture to the vessel containing batter and mix well. (The consistency of the batter should be like that of thick milkshake.)(If it absorbs water, add sufficient amount of water to make it like thick milkshake.) 

Heat the Tava(Iron Tava preferred). Put small round Rottis or make one big Rotti using a flat spoon as shown in the picture below. Cover the lid & cook for 1 min.

Apply the Ghee on top of Rotti, flip and cook the other side of the Rotti for about 4-5 mins in medium flame.

Serve hot along with any chutney, chutney powder or sambar. Ingredients mentioned above will serve 8-10 large Sajjige Rottis.

Tips (ಸಲಹೆ):  

 * Very fine powder of Semolina does not taste good 

 * Spread ghee all over the Rotti as shown in the video and then roast the Rotti in medium flame for the best results

 * While placing the Rotti, flame should be high and then it should be cooked in medium flame

 * Mix the batter well before placing each Rotti

 * Use Iron Tava for authentic taste

 * As it takes time in roasting, multiple Tavas can be kept for preparing the Rottis in parallel 

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 * ತುಂಬಾ ಸಣ್ಣ ಗಾತ್ರದ ರವೆ ಅಷ್ಟು ರುಚಿಯಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ 

 * ತುಪ್ಪವನ್ನು ವಿಡಿಯೋದಲ್ಲಿ ತೋರಿಸಿದಂತೆ ರೊಟ್ಟಿಯ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಕಡೆ ಒಂದೇ ಸಮನಾಗಿ ಸವರಿ, ಮಧ್ಯಮ ಉರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ರೋಸ್ಟ್ ಮಾಡಿ

 * ರೊಟ್ಟಿಯನ್ನು ಕಾವಲಿಗೆಗೆ ಹಾಕುವಾಗ ಬೆಂಕಿ ದೊಡ್ಡದಾಗಿರಲಿ. ಆಮೇಲೆ ಮಧ್ಯಮ ಉರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬೇಯಿಸಬೇಕು

 * ಪ್ರತೀ ರೊಟ್ಟಿಯನ್ನು ಕಾವಲಿಗೆಗೆ ಹಾಕುವ ಮೊದಲು ಹಿಟ್ಟನ್ನು ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ತೊಳೆಸಬೇಕು

 * ಕಬ್ಬಿಣದ ಕಾವಲಿಗೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾಡಿದ ರೊಟ್ಟಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ರುಚಿಯಾಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ

 * ರೊಟ್ಟಿ ಸಣ್ಣ ಉರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬೇಯಲು ಸಮಯ ಬೇಕಾಗುವುದರಿಂದ 2-3 ಕಾವಲಿಗೆಯನ್ನು ಒಟ್ಟಿಗೆ ಬಳಸಬಹುದು
