You ask any kannadiga from Bangalore and Mysore their favourite, comforting, relaxed breakfast..the answer has to be akki roti...which simply means rice flour roti..It is made of mixing rice flour, salt, jeera grated coconut, a tinge of sugar choice of veggies like onion, grated carrot, fenugreek leaves or dhill leaves or even with grated cucumber and so on..and also with grains.. the most popular one is avarekaalu or hyacinth beans..but the other popular ones are plain without any veggies or with onion and carrot, dhill leaves and most popular one is hyacinth beans in the season.
