Rich in calcium, iron, and fiber, ragi is a powerhouse grain that has been a part of Indian diets for centuries. The dough is usually mixed with onions, green chilies, coriander, and sometimes grated veggies. It\u2019s then patted flat on a greased surface and cooked on a hot tava. The result? A crisp-edged, earthy-tasting rotti that\u2019s gluten-free and highly nutritious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-21b8d9fb\"><h4 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>How to Make <strong>ragi RotTi<\/strong>: The Traditional Way<\/strong><\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\uded2 Ingredients:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 cup <strong>Ragi flour<\/strong> (finger millet)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bc cup finely chopped <strong>onion<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tsp <strong>jeera (cumin seeds)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tsp <strong>grated ginger<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 finely chopped <strong>green chili<\/strong> (optional)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 tbsp chopped <strong>fresh coriander<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Salt to taste (rock salt preferred)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Warm water (for kneading)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ghee or sesame oil for roasting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\udd63 Method:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mix Dough:<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shaping Roti:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Grease a banana leaf or parchment paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take a small ball of dough and pat it into a thin roti using your wet fingers.
