Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Ragi flour
- 50 grams Whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 150 milliliters Warm water
- 100 grams Fresh spinach leaves
- 50 grams Feta cheese, crumbled
- 30 grams Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 30 grams Black olives, sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ragi flour, whole wheat flour, and salt.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, then add the spinach, and cook until wilted. Set aside to cool slightly.
Add warm water to the flour mixture, little by little, and knead it into a soft dough. The dough should be pliable but not sticky.
Incorporate the sautéed spinach, crumbled feta cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, sliced black olives, oregano, and black pepper into the dough, and knead it well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a flat circle, approximately 6 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin.
Heat a nonstick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Place one rolled roti on the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface.
Flip the roti and brush lightly with olive oil. Cook for another 2 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned and cooked through.
Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls, keeping the cooked rotis warm in a clean dish towel.
Serve the Mediterranean Diet Ragi Roti warm as a side or as part of a main dish.
