Ingredients
Scale
1 cup ragi flour (finger millet)
1/4 cup tapioca flour (for binding)
1/4 teaspoon rock salt (sendha namak)
1 tablespoon ghee (optional)
Warm water, as needed
Instructions
Prepare Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the ragi flour, tapioca flour, and rock salt. Add ghee if using, and mix well.
Add Water: Gradually add warm water to the flour mixture, kneading to form a soft dough. The dough should be smooth and pliable.
Divide and Roll: Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin disc using a rolling pin, dusting with extra flour as needed to prevent sticking.
Cook Rotis: Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Cook each roti for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown spots appear. Press gently with a spatula to puff them up if desired.
Serve: Serve warm with your favorite curry or dal.
Notes
Ragi Flour: Ragi is rich in calcium and iron, making this roti not only gluten-free but also highly nutritious.
Binding Agent: Tapioca flour helps bind the dough, making it easier to roll and cook. You can substitute with arrowroot or cornstarch if needed.
Serving Suggestion: Ragi Roti pairs well with sabjis, curries, or as a wrap for vegetables.
Storage Tip: Leftover rotis can be stored in an airtight container and reheated on a skillet or in the microwave.
