Ragi Roti is a tasty and healthy Indian flat bread that can be served
as snack or meal. Ragi or red millet is rich in iron and protein and
makes
a great after-school snack for kids.
1 small ziploc bag or small plastic sheet for making
the roti
Preparation
Mix the flours, salt, chilli and turmeric powders,
along with onions
and cilantro with enough water to make a soft dough. Divide it into 4
equal portions.
Heat a flat iron or nonstick griddle or thava. Brush
some oil and wipe
it off with a paper towel.
While the thava is heating, brush the ziploc bag or
plastic sheet with
some oil. Keep a bowl of water handy. Take the dough, form into a
pattie, and place it on the ziploc bag. Wet your fingertips with water,
and press the dough and spread it on the sheet to about 3-3.5 inches in
diameter. Flip over the ziploc sheet onto the thava (roti side down),
and gently peel back the sheet.
Cook the ragi roti on both sides for a couple of
minutes. Brush some
oil on both sides and cook again on both sides until brown spots
appear. Remove and cool on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining
patties.
Serve the ragi roti with pickle (such as mango
pickle, chilli
pickle or lime
pickle) and plain yogurt or
any yogurt raita.
