Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Ragi flour (finger millet flour)
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped coriander leaves (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ragi flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. If using, add cumin seeds and chopped coriander leaves to the mixture.
Gradually add warm water to the flour mixture, a little at a time, using your hand to mix and knead the dough until it becomes soft and pliable.
Add the olive oil and knead the dough further for around 3-5 minutes. This will help in making the dough smoother.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
On a flat surface, dust some ragi or whole wheat flour to prevent sticking. Take one dough ball and roll it into a thin circle, approximately 6 inches in diameter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa on medium-high heat.
Place the rolled-out dough onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 1 minute on one side until small bubbles start to appear.
Flip the roti using a spatula and cook the other side for another minute. You may gently press the edges using a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Optional: For added flavor, once the roti starts to puff up, apply a little olive oil on top and flip to cook for another 15-20 seconds.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Serve the Dairy-Free Ragi Roti warm with your favorite curry or chutney.
