Ragi Rotti

🇮🇳 Indian

Ragi rotti, iron-rich millet flatbread with coconut and onion. Rolled, rested and flame-kissed — the real thing. Pile in a basket lined with cloth and let everyone grab.

Prep 25 min Cook 22 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Onion2, finely sliced
  • Ghee2 tbsp
  • Curry Leaves2 sprigs
  • Grated Coconut1 cup
  • Finger Millet (Ragi)1 cup

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix the flour(s) with salt, then add water slowly, kneading 8-10 minutes to a soft, springy dough that springs back when poked.

  2. 2

    Rest the dough, covered with a damp cloth, for at least 30 minutes — gluten relaxes, rolling gets easier.

  3. 3

    Divide into equal balls, then roll — plain, or stuffed and sealed like little parcels before rolling gently.

  4. 4

    Slap onto the hot tawa; when dark spots appear, flip and press at the edges with a cloth till it balloons.

  5. 5

    Slather with ghee, wrap in a clean cloth, and carry to the table warm.

Chef's tip

Rest the dough or it will fight you at the rolling pin.
