I had a great weekend……shopping, relatives home visit, lazying at home, friends comeover and a lot more…….that I find it very hard to get back to the usual routine….Have started waiting for pongal hols 🙂 Hmm coming to todays menu, I made this sooji roti long back and it was lying in my drafts for around 6months, so pulled it out. Wheat Sooji/Rava roti, is instant it can be done just like that…..Most of my recent/future recipes will be quick…am so lazy and now blame it on work and the kiddo 🙂 And am sure this wheat sooji roti will be a better alternative to rava upma!
Ingredients:
Wheat sooji/rava – 1 cup
Finely chopped onion – 1/2 cup
Hing – 1 tsp
Grated coconut – 2 tbsp (optional)
Finely chopped green chillies- 2 tsp
Finely chopped ginger – 2 tsp
Curd – 2 tbsp
Salt to taste
Oil
Method:
1.Dry roast rava on a medium flame, till it gives nice aroma. Keep aside and allow it to cool.
2.Mix all other ingredients to form a batter like idli batter consistency. Add water if its too thick, Let it sit for 15mins.
3. Heat tawa, drizzle oil and spread the batter on it (about 1/2 inch thickness).
4. Cover it with a lid and allow it to cook for 3mins. Turn it to other side and allow it to cook till its light brown.
5.Serve hot with the chutney of ur taste or chutney podi. I had neither of it so clicked with garlic pickle 🙂

Very healthy and delicious roti!

that looks very crisp and inviting!! try panna poren. i have tried sooji roti without rosting the sooji.
I used to make this earlier and forgot about this. I like the idea of roasting the rava before making the dough.
Looks crispy and yum, Sharmilee! And thanks for visiting my blog and taking time to comment. Hope to see u around. Adding you t my reader (though I must confess I'm way behind on posts there )
on seeing ur sooji roti i cannot control myself.so i ran into kitchen and tried it out immediately with white rava.but mine was not fully browm like urs.
have u done in godumai rava or what is the trick behind it?
@Meenal : Yes I used brown rava as mentioned in ing list…no trick all 🙂
ok let me try with godhumai rava
ur bread rasamalai is tempting me
i dont have saffron what can i subsitute?
@Meenal : May be add cardamom powder but the flavour differs…
i love ur presentation..and explanation..most of ur receipes remembers my mum's cooking..she is also an excellent cook.even the hint which u at the end of every dish is followed by her..i spend my time in taking notes of ur receipes..
i tried ur wheat roti.but when i flipped it.it torn into pieces.can u tell why?
If the batter consistency is too runny then it may tear…
Wow…lovely idea.It tasted too yummy…and my hubby just got fan of it. Thanks dear 🙂 Wanna know can v make it in advance a night before to use it for lunch
You can try and see…
Congrats for award….
Your recipes are awesome and simply superb..
