Tips

Dibba Rotti Batter:

1.) First method (which I followed) :

Generally Dibba Rotti is made of Black Gram-2.5 cups and 3 cups of Idli Rawa. The batter used to make Idli also can be made into Dibba Roti, but should be made little sour by leaving it to ferment outside overnight. If you do not prefer sour ones,they can be made with freshly ground batter as well.

2.) Second method :

In earlier days, Godavari district people used Rice Rawa instead of Idli Rawa. And the proportion it is used in is 1 cup Black Gram- 3 cups Rice Rawa.

3.) Third method:

To make it more nutritious, skinned Black Gram, Rice Rawa or Idli Rawa can be used. You can use Parboiled Rice instead of Idli Rawa. It should be coarsely ground. If you want to make it crispier, add more Rawa.

4.) Fourth method:

I used Ground Nut Oil, you can use Butter also for roasting. Some people use Asafoetida added to the Oil. It is your personal preference.

To roast Dibba Rotti:

5.) Roasting in a cast iron pan will give a better taste than making it in a non-stick pan. The thicker the pan, the crispier the Rotti. You can use a pressure-cooker pan, if you do not have an iron one.

6.) In street food stalls, it is properly roasted on both sides on fired charcoal. As it is not convenient to make on a charcoal stove at home, I roasted it on a Dosa Tawa after one side was roasted in the pan.

1.) Jaggery Syrup.

A special syrup is made in Godavari regions with Sugarcane Juice boiled for a long time and strained and packed in bottles. People relish it a lot. As it is not available in all regions, we are making a sticky syrup boiling Jaggery in half cup water. It tastes almost the same.

2.) Powders and Pickles.

You can eat this Dibba Rotti with spicy Powders, Bombay Chutney, Coconut Chutney or Ginger Pickle.

3.) Pour the batter only upto three-fourths the pan, as it tends to rise while cooking.
