Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Ragi flour (finger millet flour)
- 50 grams Whole wheat flour
- 50 grams Fenugreek leaves, finely chopped
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 small Green chili, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 120 milliliters Water
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ragi flour, whole wheat flour, fenugreek leaves, onion, green chili, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, and salt.
Gradually add water to the flour mixture, and knead the dough until it is smooth and pliable. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls.
On a lightly floured surface, take one dough ball and flatten it slightly. Roll it out into a thin disc, about 6 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin. Dust with flour as needed to prevent sticking.
Heat a non-stick griddle or tawa over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled roti on the griddle.
Cook the roti for about 1-2 minutes until you notice bubbles forming on the surface. Flip it over using a spatula.
Cook the second side for another 1-2 minutes, and then flip again. Apply a small amount (1/4 teaspoon) of olive oil around the edges and top of the roti.
Press gently with the spatula to ensure even cooking and to encourage puffing. Flip once more and let it cook for an additional minute before removing.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Serve the ragi rotis warm with your choice of healthful accompaniment, such as yogurt or a vegetable curry.
