Dibba roti, a traditional Andhra Pradesh dish, also known as minapa roti, is packed with flavours and nutrition. It’s a tasty and healthy alternative to traditional rotis and can be made in no time. It is a combination of soft idli and crispy dosa, making it a delightful treat for your taste buds.

One of the unique features of dibba roti is its shape. Unlike regular dosas that are round and thin, it is thicker and is cooked in a circular or square shape. It is typically served in small pieces and is a favourite among locals for its soft and fluffy texture.

In addition to being a delicious breakfast option, this recipe is also considered a healthy meal. It is gluten-free, vegan and high in protein, making it an ideal choice for people with dietary restrictions or those who are health-conscious. It’s perfect for busy mornings and can even be packed in your kids’ lunch boxes.

Dibba roti is typically served with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, or sambar, a spicy lentil soup. It can also be enjoyed with a variety of other accompaniments, such as ghee, pickle or yoghurt for an authentic Andhra Pradesh experience. Here’s how you can make it at home.
