    Recipe to make ragi roti:

      How to do seasoning:

      • Heat oil in a frying pan, add gram dal and urad dal.
      • Put onions, green chillies.
      • Add some salt and fry the onions to a translucent color.
      • Set aside the seasoning.

      How to make ragi rotti dough:

      • In a large mixing bowl, take ragi flour and whole wheat flour. Wheat flour gives enough gluten to keep the ragi dough from falling apart. But if you like gluten-free diet then please avoid wheat flour and proceed only with ragi flour. Therefore make small sized rotis to avoid breaking.
      • Now add the prepared seasoning and salt required for the roti.
      • Also, add finely chopped coriander leaves.
      • Mix everything together and combine well with hands by adding water gradually.
      • Prepare a thick roti dough in such a way that it should be soft enough to tap with fingers and not too sticky. Adjust water addition accordingly.
      • Finally, add a teaspoon of oil and apply on top of the dough to avoid drying.

      How to make ragi roti:

      • Apply some oil in a thick plastic sheet or banana leaf.
      • Scoop a ball sized dough, flatten it gently with oiled fingers as thin as possible.
      • Be careful while making roti as it may stick.
      • Meanwhile, heat a dosa tawa, drizzle few drops of oil.
      • Invert the flattened roti dough carefully on the hot Tawa.
      • Fry the ragi roti in medium temperature. You can close with a lid to make extra soft rotis.
      • After around five minutes, flip sides and drizzle few more drops of oil.
      • Cook for few more minutes until u see the color change.
      • Ragi changes from light color to dark chocolate color with fried spots here and there.
      • Switch off and serve with plain curd or masala curd or tomato chutney. Ragi rotti goes well with pickle too.

      Notes

      Tips: 1) Do not worry about side cracks while flattening as the final product would be good after frying. 2) Gram and urad dal gives nice crunchy bites while eating the soft rotis. 3) If you are able to handle the heat, you can knead the dough with hot water to get extra soft ragi roti.
