soft akki rotis

This was made by my gran for breakfasts.  I first made it when my children were down with chicken pox when they were still very small and had to have a easy digestible and something other than rice in their diet.
it is very easy to digest and quite tasty too when had with chutney or any other gravy.

Ingredients ;
rice flour : 1 cup ( may need around half a cup more ) + flour for dusting
salt
oil 1 tsp
water 2 cups

Procedure

in a wide pan add two cups water and salt for taste.
when it starts boiling, make the flame low and add the oil and the flour
stir the mixture and mix well and switch off the flame and cover dough and keep aside.
when slightly cooled knead the dough (if required add more rice flour or wheat flour or ragi flour).
knead well till the dough is smooth.
then make soft chappatis .  they will puff on the tava without oil.
enjoy with any gravy and or butter.
