RAGI MASALA ROTTI



Ragi or Finger Millet is a healthy grain that is often recommended by doctors to include in our diet. I make several dishes using Ragi and recently made Ragi Masala Rotti. This rotti is hand pressed and is flavored with onions and other spices.

Ingredients

3 cups Ragi/ Finger millet flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp red chilli powder
1 onion finely chopped
1/2 tsp garam masala powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp ginger paste
handful of coriander leaves finely chopped
handful of curry leaves finely chopped
Oil as needed
3 cups water

Method

  • Take Ragi flour in a bowl, add salt, red chilli powder, cumin powder, garam masala powder, ginger paste, finely chopped onions, curry leaves and coriander leaves and mix well.
  • Boil water in a pan and add it little by little to the ragi mix.
  • Mix well with a spoon and then allow it to cool down a bit.
  • Then add 2 tbsp oil and mix well. You will get a soft dough (more softer than a praratha dough)
  • Since the dough is very soft, we will not be able to roll the Ragi roti. 
  • So, we can take a Butter paper or a banana leaf or a plastic sheet and use it to press the Ragi rottis.
  • I have used a plastic sheet that we get from oil packet. 
  • Grease your hands with oil and then take a medium size ball of Ragi dough.
  • Gently press with your hands on the plastic sheet to make a circle.
  • Try not to make it very thick or very thin.
  • Heat a skillet and cook the Ragi Rotti on both sides by applying oil.
  • In the same way, make more Ragi rottis.
  • Serve hot with Potato Masala or Sambar and Groundnut chutney..

  2. I have made this earlier.
    But, had added chopped tomatoes and chillies too along with onion.
    Didn't know we have to add hot water to the mixture.
