Hi ,

UBBU ROTI ( PUFFED ROTI) ! This one snack we make during local festivals , The name ubbu roti is by its puffed nature.The freshly ground rice along with lentil and fresh spices give you fantastic aroma and great taste.It is a very famous snack in Coimbatore , Pollachi and is also very easy to make.

The taste depends on the freshness and consistency of the batter so try to make it as soon as you grind it.You can refrigerate and can make it one day later but not more than that.

Try it in home with the below recipe,

SERVINGS : YIELDS ABOUT 20 SMALL POORIS.

NOTES :

1. Batter consistency is very important so make sure you add no water while grinding.If you are grinding in mixer ( food processor) then you might need add water while grinding.In that case after grinding keep the batter in refrigerator for few hours so that batter will turn thick ,if still batter is runny then empty the batter to a cotton cloth and squeeze it as much as possible to drain all the water.Hope it helps😊
2. Four chillies will give you mild spiciness , if you need you can add 2 more chillies for spicy,hot ubbu rotis.Red chillies can be replaced by green chillies too. 
    HAPPY COOKING!!
