Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Ragi flour (finger millet flour)
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Oil
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or oil for cooking
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ragi flour, whole wheat flour, and salt.
Gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing continuously to form a soft dough. Add water as needed. The dough should not be sticky or too dry.
Add 1 tablespoon of oil and knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and pliable.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes to relax.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Heat a tawa or flat skillet over medium heat.
Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly. Dust it with a little ragi flour and roll it out into a circle about 6 inches in diameter using a rolling pin.
Place the rolled-out roti on the hot tawa. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface.
Flip the roti using a spatula and cook on the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
Using the spatula, press the edges of the roti gently to ensure even cooking.
If desired, apply a thin layer of ghee or oil on both sides while cooking for a richer flavor.
Repeat the rolling and cooking process with the remaining dough balls.
Serve hot with your favorite curry or chutney.
