Ingredients

• 1 cup Ragi flour (finger millet flour)
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped coriander leaves (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ragi flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. If using, add cumin seeds and chopped coriander leaves to the mixture.

Step 2

Gradually add warm water to the flour mixture, a little at a time, using your hand to mix and knead the dough until it becomes soft and pliable.

Step 3

Add the olive oil and knead the dough further for around 3-5 minutes. This will help in making the dough smoother.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

Step 5

After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 6

On a flat surface, dust some ragi or whole wheat flour to prevent sticking. Take one dough ball and roll it into a thin circle, approximately 6 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa on medium-high heat.

Step 8

Place the rolled-out dough onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 1 minute on one side until small bubbles start to appear.

Step 9

Flip the roti using a spatula and cook the other side for another minute. You may gently press the edges using a spatula to ensure even cooking.

Step 10

Optional: For added flavor, once the roti starts to puff up, apply a little olive oil on top and flip to cook for another 15-20 seconds.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 12

Serve the Dairy-Free Ragi Roti warm with your favorite curry or chutney.
