Ingredients

• 200 grams Ragi flour
• 50 grams Whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 150 milliliters Warm water
• 100 grams Fresh spinach leaves
• 50 grams Feta cheese, crumbled
• 30 grams Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 30 grams Black olives, sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ragi flour, whole wheat flour, and salt.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, then add the spinach, and cook until wilted. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

Add warm water to the flour mixture, little by little, and knead it into a soft dough. The dough should be pliable but not sticky.

Step 4

Incorporate the sautéed spinach, crumbled feta cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, sliced black olives, oregano, and black pepper into the dough, and knead it well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a flat circle, approximately 6 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin.

Step 7

Heat a nonstick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Place one rolled roti on the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface.

Step 8

Flip the roti and brush lightly with olive oil. Cook for another 2 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned and cooked through.

Step 9

Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls, keeping the cooked rotis warm in a clean dish towel.

Step 10

Serve the Mediterranean Diet Ragi Roti warm as a side or as part of a main dish.
