Ingredients

• 200 grams Ragi flour (finger millet flour)
• 50 grams Whole wheat flour
• 50 grams Fenugreek leaves, finely chopped
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 small Green chili, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 120 milliliters Water
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ragi flour, whole wheat flour, fenugreek leaves, onion, green chili, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add water to the flour mixture, and knead the dough until it is smooth and pliable. The dough should be soft but not sticky.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, take one dough ball and flatten it slightly. Roll it out into a thin disc, about 6 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin. Dust with flour as needed to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick griddle or tawa over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled roti on the griddle.

Step 6

Cook the roti for about 1-2 minutes until you notice bubbles forming on the surface. Flip it over using a spatula.

Step 7

Cook the second side for another 1-2 minutes, and then flip again. Apply a small amount (1/4 teaspoon) of olive oil around the edges and top of the roti.

Step 8

Press gently with the spatula to ensure even cooking and to encourage puffing. Flip once more and let it cook for an additional minute before removing.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 10

Serve the ragi rotis warm with your choice of healthful accompaniment, such as yogurt or a vegetable curry.
