Kurakkan Roti

250g of flour
250g of Kurakkan flour (If you want you can add more kurakkan flour and reduce normal flour - Then it Roti will be little hard)
1/2 a coconut scraped (If you can put a whole coconut it is tastier)
2 teaspoon salt
water
50g margerine/butter
1 egg (not a must)
1 teaspoon baking powder (not a must)

Optional
some curry leaves (Karapincha)
1-2 big onions
2 table spoons chilli pieces (grinded) - kaali miris
1 teaspoon pepper

Put the scraped coconut into a larcge bowl and add flour, Kurakkan flour, salt, baking powder and mix for about a minute.
Then add butter and egg and mix. Then add water little by little and mix well until it makes a whole dough (This takes about 5 minutes)


Optional - to taste better
Chop the big onions and green chillis into small pieces.
Put a pan on heat and put about 2 table spoons of oil and then add the chopped items, pepper, clilli pieces, salt (to taste)and curry leaves on to it and fry for some time until it is brown.

Now pour this mixture into the dough and mix well


Make small balls out of the dough from hand and flat it on a plate or a board (make it thin using hand).
Tip - Make the plate and hands wet, so that the dough won't get stick to your hand or plate (No need to put oil)
