Biscuit Rotti

                Biscuit Rotti is a popular tea time snack in and around Amchi Mangaluru.  This is very easy to prepare and is the favourite snack of many who belongs to South Kanara.  There are many versions of this snack.  I am  giving  the recipe which is very popular and authentic one.
This measurement is to prepare 7 medium size Biscuit Rottis.

Ingredients:-

For Dough:-
  • Maida – 1 Cup
  • Hot oil  – 4 tsp.
  • Salt  – 1 pinch.
For Filling:-
  • Coconut gratings – 2 tbsp
  • Bombay Rava –  2 tbsp
  • Chilly pdr –  heaped 1 tsp
  • Chopped curry leaves  – 1 tbsp
  • Small Chickpea size Hing dissolved in little water.
  • Salt  to taste
  • 1 ½ tsp mustard seeds with 1 tbsp oil for seasoning.
  • Oil for deep frying.
Method :-
In a pan mix maida very well with salt and hot oil.  Knead the dough adding little water like poori dough and keep aside.
Mix all the  ingredients kept for filling.  Season with musturd seeds and mix it very well.
Make seven equal balls of the dough . Divide the filling mixture in to seven  equal parts. Roll the ball  to 3½ inch diameter size poori. Place one part of the filling mixture in the center of the poori. Gather the circular edges and close the fillings completely.  Now roll this filled ball again to 3½ inch diameter size poori.
Heat oil for deep frying. When the oil is hot, gently slide one rotti in it. Now gently press using laddle to puff up. Flip and gently press again so to get maximum puff up.  Fry till rotti becomes brown. Continue till all the rottis are fried one by one.

Enjoy this tasty snack with coffee, tea or as you please.
Note:- Dissolve the hing in very little water.
