Ingredients

• 2 cups Ragi flour (finger millet flour)
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Oil
• 2 tablespoons Ghee or oil for cooking

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ragi flour, whole wheat flour, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing continuously to form a soft dough. Add water as needed. The dough should not be sticky or too dry.

Step 3

Add 1 tablespoon of oil and knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and pliable.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 6

Heat a tawa or flat skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly. Dust it with a little ragi flour and roll it out into a circle about 6 inches in diameter using a rolling pin.

Step 8

Place the rolled-out roti on the hot tawa. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface.

Step 9

Flip the roti using a spatula and cook on the other side for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Using the spatula, press the edges of the roti gently to ensure even cooking.

Step 11

If desired, apply a thin layer of ghee or oil on both sides while cooking for a richer flavor.

Step 12

Repeat the rolling and cooking process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 13

Serve hot with your favorite curry or chutney.
