Coorgi Roti
How will this taste, you might wonder, without even green chillies or ginger for flavour, but you must taste it to believe how simple rice can transform into a delicious roti when cooked perfectly and topped generously with ghee. The aroma of roasted rice will taunt your taste buds, and make you finish off a whole roti even without any accompaniments. However, the coorgi roti must be had steaming hot, right off the tava.
