Ragi Roti

A healthy and nutritious flatbread made with ragi (finger millet) flour, spiced with herbs and vegetables, a staple in Karnataka cuisine.

Ingredients :

1. Ragi flour (finger millet flour) 1 cup
3. Onion (finely chopped) 1 small
4. Green chillies (finely chopped) 2
5. Fresh coriander leaves (chopped) 1 tbsp
6. Curry leaves (chopped) 1 tbsp
7. Grated carrot or radish (optional) 1/4 cup
8. Cumin seeds 1/2 tsp
9. Salt To taste
10. Water As needed
11. Oil For cooking

Procedure :

1. In a mixing bowl, combine ragi flour, chopped onion, green chillies, coriander leaves, curry leaves, grated carrot or radish (if using), cumin seeds, and salt. Gradually add water to make a soft, pliable dough. Ensure the dough is not too sticky or dry.
2. Divide the dough into small portions and roll them into balls. Place one ball on a greased plastic sheet or banana leaf and flatten it gently with your fingers to form a thin disc (roti). Wet your fingers to prevent sticking while flattening.
