Ingredients
Chiroti Rava/Semolina	2 cups
Onion finely chopped	1
Green chillies chopped	3
Parsley/Coriander leaves chopped	1 & 1/2 cup
Water	1 & 1/2 cup
Salt	1/2 tsp
Oil	1/2 tsp

Mix Rava, Onion, Green chillies, Coriander leaves and salt with water and make a soft dough. Let the dough be soft but not too watery.

Let the dough stand for 10 - 15 minutes.

Coat a pan with oil using your fingers.

Using your palm, slowly tap and spread the dough into a thin circle. Mum used to make those holes to sprinkle oil but I make it just for the look of mom made rotti. :D

Cook it in medium heat and turn it over to cook it on the other side.

Serve hot with any chutney or pickle.

• You can add grated veggies like carrot, beetroot, cucumber or parsnip.
• Wash the tava with cold water before you tap the dough for next rotti since the dough sticks to the hot pan and you will not be able to tap the rotti properly.
• If you are using a non stick pan, there is no need to apply oil every time.
• You can cover and cook for softer rottis and they come out crispy if cooked without cover.

Parsley Rice

Parsley can be used as a herb, a spice or a vegetable. It has it's own unique flavour and taste. It has many health benefits because of its healing properties. So, I tried raw and  in salads with lemon but did not like it much so cooked it with rice and what a yummy dish it came out to be!

In a long bottom pan or a cooker, heat oil and fry onion till transparent.

Add the veggies and fry for a minute.

Add chopped parsley and give a stir.

Add salt and lemon juice and mix well.

Add water and bring it to boil.

Add Rice, give it a mix and close the lid of the pressure cooker. Take it out of the flame after 1 whistle.

If you are not using a pressure cooker, cook till the rice is soft and cooked.

Serve this yummy and aromatic rice hot.

• Don't use jasmine rice since it changes the aroma completely.
• I have not used garam masala or any other masala since it does not go well with the aroma of parsley.
