In a large mixing bowl, combine the ragi flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and cumin seeds.
Gradually add warm water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously until the mixture begins to come together into a dough.
Add olive oil to the dough and knead it until smooth and pliable, about 5-7 minutes.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape them into balls.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter using a rolling pin.
Heat a non-stick pan or tawa over medium heat.
Place the rolled out roti on the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles start to form on the surface.
Flip the roti and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Serve the low fat ragi rotis warm with your favorite accompaniments.
