Finely cut coriander leaves - 2 tablespoons.

Cumin seeds 1 teaspoon.

Method:

1. Put all the above ingredients in a bowl ; Mix well with hands.
2. Add water and mix well so as to form a nice and smooth dough.
3. Take a kadai or tava, smear oil generously.
4. Take a cricket ball sized dough mixture. Pat the same on the kadai or tava. Make a small hole in the middle with your forefinger and add a 1/4 teaspoon oil.
5. Place on the stove on medium flame ; Cook covered for 7-8 minutes.
6. Once it is cooked, use a flat ladle to separate the cooked rotti from the kadai or tava.
