Ingredients

• 250 grams Ragi flour
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 1 finely chopped Green chili
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Coriander leaves
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 350 milliliters (approx.) Water
• 2 tablespoons Oil

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, add the ragi flour, finely chopped onion, green chili, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add water to the dry ingredients while mixing with your hands. The dough should be soft and pliable but not sticky. Use water as needed to achieve the correct consistency.

Step 3

Divide the dough into equal-sized balls, approximately 8 to 10, depending on your preferred roti size.

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick tawa or skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Take a ball of dough and place it between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Press and gently roll out the dough to form a thin, round roti, about 6 to 7 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Carefully transfer the roti onto the preheated tawa. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes on one side until you see bubbles form on the surface.

Step 7

Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges, then flip it over to cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes. The roti should have light brown spots and be cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the cooked ragi roti from the tawa and keep it warm by covering it with a cloth or foil.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 10

Serve the ragi rotis warm with your choice of curry, yogurt, or chutney.
