Ingredients Method Nutrition Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fenugreek/methi or dill leaves chopped
  • 1 cup of mashed mixed vegetables, bottle gourd, sweet potato
  • ½ cup ragi flour
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • pinch of asafoetida/hing
  • ½ tsp ginger-chili paste.
  • A2 organic ghee for greasing

Method
 

  1. Mix all the ingredients. Set aside for 30 minutes.
  2. Divide the dough into equal parts. Flatten them to make rotis.
  3. Heat the tawa and cook your roti until done.
  4. Grease with ghee at the end. Serve.
Power tip:
  1. We can add chopped mint leaves jeera, ajwain, or powdered fennel for more taste.
  2. Use water only as per requirement. Using too much water makes the dough stickier and hampers the taste too.

Notes

  • You can replace ragi with jowar or amaranth flour too.
  • The wonder grain ragi is loaded with fiber, calcium, amino acids, and vitamin D.
  • Adding fenugreek or dill leaves can provide relief from hiccups, dysentery, and menstrual and respiratory disorders, too.
  • Antioxidants, mainly tryptophan and amino acids, present in ragi serve as natural relaxants.
