Ragi (Finger Millet) Roti / Rotti - Softer version



Ingredients

Ragi / Finger Millet flour - 1 cup
Onion - 3
Green chillies - 4 / Chilli powder
Curry leaves
Oil - 4 spoons
Salt to taste

Method

In a thick bottomed Kadai, boil 1 cup of water. Add salt to the boiling water.
If you are using chilli powder, add that as well.
Now add ragi flour to the boiling water and cook it in low flame mixing nicely for a min and switch off the stove.
Add onion, green chillies - if you are opting it instead of chilli powder, curry leaves and mix it properly.
Now make orange sized balls.
Take a thick plastic sheet and apply oil. Place the ragi ball on it and pat it gently till it gets into round shape - of a roti. (You may use Banana leaves instead of plastic sheet for this purpose)

Apply the oil on the tawa and take out the roti from the plastic sheet and put it on the tawa. Cook both the sides by applying little oil.
Since the ragi flour is precooked using boiling water, roti becomes soft.

You may  also try other variants of this roti by adding dil leaves / carrot / cucumber / bottle gourd additionally.


Note: Ragi is Calcium rich - good for breakfast.
