Inventiveness and a Poetic afflatus

When you don't have a Kirana store down the road, you have copious amounts of parsley, and are generally lazy you become innovative. As have I. Out of green chillies (and thoroughly irritated with the non-spicy chillies available here), I decided to substitute red chillies for green. And add parsley instead of coriander in a dish. To some amazing and visually delightful results.

I made akki rotis with chilli powder. And added some parsley because I had very little coriander. Unlike the usual akki rotis where you have to search and pick out the green chillis, here, you don't have to do that. The roti is uniformly spicy. And the parsley gives you an extra zing.
And the rotis are red.

As a tribute to my inventiveness and the tastiness of the roti, I composed this ditty:

The akkiroti made by iisarayu
Was so nice, that, despite its hue,
It was quickly devoured,
The pan was scoured,
And the praise, well, it isn't undue.
