In a large bowl, mix flour, scraped coconut, chopped onions, green chilies, curry leaves, and salt. Gradually add warm water and knead into a soft, non-sticky dough.
2. SHAPE THE ROTIS 🫓
Divide dough into equal ball sizes. On a lightly floured surface or baking paper, flatten each ball with your palm into a 1/2-inch thick round disc.
3. MAKE LUNU MIRIS 🌶️
Using a mortar and pestle (or quick pulse in a food processor), crush the chili flakes, salt, and Maldive fish. Add red onions and crush until coarse. Squeeze in fresh lime juice and mix well.
4. ROAST & SERVE ✨
Heat a dry skillet or tawa over medium heat. Place the rotis and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until light golden-brown spots appear. Serve hot with a big spoonful of Lunu Miris! 😋🔥
