- Grated vegetables — Squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated carrots and zucchini to prevent the rottis from becoming soggy.

- For a spicier version, increase the amount of green chilies or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Experiment with different grated vegetables like beetroot or cabbage for unique flavors.
- Serve Akki Rotti with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, or a spicy curry for a complete meal.
- Leftover rottis can be refrigerated and reheated on a griddle or in a toaster for a quick snack.
