Instructions
In a bowl, mix rice flour, onion, carrot or curry leaves, coriander, green chillies and salt.
Add warm water little by little to form a soft, sticky dough (not stiff like chapati dough).
Grease a banana leaf, plastic sheet, or parchment paper with oil.
Take a lemon-sized portion, place it on the sheet, and pat gently with fingers into a thin roti.
Heat a tawa, grease lightly, and carefully place the roti on it.
Cook on medium flame; drizzle oil around edges.
Flip and cook until brown spots appear and the roti is cooked through.
Serve hot.
