Take a scoop of rice flour with your hand Roll the rice flour with your hands and put it on banana leaf press it with your palm and make a circle shape and cover with another banana leaf. Once pan is hot put this and close with lid. Turn over the other side after 1 or 2 minutes. Repeat this until leaf turns dark color. Once its black color remove leaf and put it back on pan and cook for few minutes more until two sides get cooked. Press over the orotti with a coconut shell spoon (cherathe kayil) at several intervals. Roll the sides of the orotti over the pand so that the sides will also be cooked.
