Tips (ಸಲಹೆ): 

 * To pat thin rottis, papaya should be finely grated

 * If you don't have Banana leaves, you can use Wax Paper or Aluminium foil by applying little oil on it

 * To prepare the thick rice batter: Soak required amount of white rice in water for about 2-6 hrs. Wash it & grind it into smooth thick paste by adding sufficient amount of Water & Salt in a Grinder | Mixer. If the batter is thin, keep it in refrigerator for about 4 hrs & drain the water. Remaining batter can be stored in freezer & can be used whenever needed

 * If you don't have thick Rice batter, you can use the Rice flour but it won't be as tasty as using Rice batter

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

 * ಪಪ್ಪಾಯವನ್ನು ಸಣ್ಣಗೆ ತುರಿಯಿರಿ, ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ ರೊಟ್ಟಿ ತೆಳ್ಳಗೆ ತಟ್ಟಲು ಕಷ್ಟವಾದೀತು

 * ಬಾಳೆ ಎಲೆ ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ, ವ್ಯಾಕ್ಸ್ ಪೇಪರ್ ಅಥವಾ ಅಲ್ಯೂಮಿನಿಯಂ ಫಾಯಿಲ್ಗೆ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಎಣ್ಣೆ ಹಚ್ಚಿ ಬಳಸಬಹುದು

 * ಗಟ್ಟಿ ಅಕ್ಕಿ ಹಿಟ್ಟನ್ನು ತಯಾರು ಮಾಡಲು: ಬೇಕಷ್ಟು ಬೆಳ್ತಿಗೆ ಅಕ್ಕಿಯನ್ನು 2-6 ಗಂಟೆ ನೀರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನೆನೆ ಹಾಕಿ. ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ತೊಳೆದು, ಬೇಕಷ್ಟು ನೀರು, ಉಪ್ಪು ಹಾಕಿ ಗ್ರೈಂಡರ್ | ಮಿಕ್ಸರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಗಟ್ಟಿಯಾಗಿ ನುಣ್ಣಗೆ ರುಬ್ಬಿ. ಹಿಟ್ಟು ನೀರಿದ್ದಲ್ಲಿ, ಫ್ರಿಡ್ಜಿನಲ್ಲಿ 4 ಗಂಟೆಗಳ ಕಾಲ ಹಾಗೆ ಇಟ್ಟು, ಮೇಲಿನ ನೀರನ್ನು ಬಸಿಯಿರಿ. ಉಳಿದ ಹಿಟ್ಟನ್ನು ಫ್ರೀಝರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಇಟ್ಟು ಬೇಕಾದಾಗ ಉಪಯೋಗಿಸಬಹುದು.

 * ಗಟ್ಟಿಯಾಗಿ ರುಬ್ಬಿದ ಅಕ್ಕಿ ಹಿಟ್ಟು ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ, ಅಕ್ಕಿ ಹುಡಿಯನ್ನೇ ಬಳಸಬಹುದು. ಆದರೆ ರುಬ್ಬಿದ ಅಕ್ಕಿ ಹಿಟ್ಟನ್ನು ಹಾಕಿ ಮಾಡಿದ ರೊಟ್ಟಿಯಷ್ಟು ರುಚಿಯಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ

Aappam
