Ingredients

Instructions

  • To a mixing bowl, add wheat flour and set aside.
  • Now roast ragi flour in low flame for 3-5mins without changing the color of the flour. Cool down completely.
  • Add this flour to wheat flour. Mix well with a ladle.
  • Now add salt and jeera. Add ghee.
  • First mix well with your finger tips. Add water little by little to form a smooth dough.
  • Rest it for 15 mins. Pinch lemon equal sized balls and roll them to form smooth balls. Place a ball and slightly flatten it, sprinkle flour.
  • Roll them into slightly thin rotis. Don't make it very thin it will start tearing.
  • Heat tawa, carefully place the roti.
  • Drizzle oil. Once bubbles start forming flip and cook. Cook until brown spots appear here and there. Enjoy Ragi Chapathi!

Notes

  • Roasting – I always roast the ragi flour on low heat without changing its color. This step removes the raw smell and the taste becomes more better.
  • Knead dough – I make sure the dough is soft and smooth, not too tight. If the dough is tight then the chapathi can turn dry and hard after cooking.
  • Resting – I usually rest the dough for at least 15 minutes. This helps the flour to absorb water properly and rolling becomes more easier.
  • Rolling – I do not roll it very thin because it can start tearing while lifting. I keep it in medium thickness so it stays soft after cooking.
  • Cooking Tip – I cook on medium heat and flip it when bubbles appear on top. If the flame is very high it can become hard and slightly dry.
