Ingredients

• 2 cups Ragi flour (finger millet flour)
• 1.5 cups Water
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Oil
• 1 medium Green chili (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves (chopped)
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, add 2 cups of ragi flour and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Add finely chopped green chili, coriander leaves, and onion to the flour and combine.

Step 3

Gradually add 1.5 cups of water to the flour, mixing with your hands until you form a soft, pliable dough. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more ragi flour, and if it's too dry, add more water as needed.

Step 4

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of oil over the dough and knead for another minute to make it smoother.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions, rolling each into a smooth ball.

Step 6

Lightly dust a clean surface with ragi flour. Take one dough ball and flatten it evenly using your palms and fingers to form a disc about 5-6 inches in diameter. Alternatively, you can use a rolling pin, but note that ragi dough is more prone to cracking.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick tawa or skillet over medium heat.

Step 8

Gently place the rolled roti on the hot tawa. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface.

Step 9

Flip the roti using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until both sides have brown spots.

Step 10

Remove the cooked roti from the skillet and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 12

Serve the vegan ragi roti hot with your choice of vegan curry or vegetable sabzi.
