Spiced Green Mung Bean Rotti

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spiced Green Mung Bean Rotti.

1. Step 1

   Start by soaking the mung beans in water overnight, allowing them to absorb moisture and soften.

2. Step 2

   The next day, drain the beans and set aside the soaking water for later use.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained mung beans with rice flour, cumin seeds, chopped green chile, a pinch of asafoetida, fresh cilantro, shredded coconut, grated carrot, and a sprinkle of salt.

4. Step 4

   As you mix these vibrant ingredients together, gradually add the reserved soaking water, using your hands to knead until a smooth, workable dough forms.

5. Step 5

   You’ll want to use just enough water—around half a cup should do the trick.

6. Step 6

   Once your dough is ready, divide it into balls roughly the size of a tennis ball.

7. Step 7

   Gently flatten each ball into a thin, round shape, creating little discs of deliciousness.

8. Step 8

   Now, heat two tablespoons of vegetable oil in a griddle or skillet over medium heat.

9. Step 9

   When the oil is hot, carefully place one of your flattened rottis in the pan and fry it until it turns a beautiful golden brown, which should take about 30 to 40 seconds.

10. Step 10

    Flip it over and let the other side cook until it’s equally golden.

11. Step 11

    Repeat this process with the remaining dough, adding two tablespoons of oil for each rotti.

12. Step 12

    Once they’re all cooked, serve them hot and enjoy the delightful flavors and textures of your homemade treat!.
