Welcome to our gluten-free HealthX kitchen!
Today, we're going to prepare a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional roti - Raagi Roti, also known as millet roti.Packed with nutrients and flavour, this recipe is perfect for those following a gluten-free diet or simply looking for a nutritious twist on a classic dish.
Ingredients:
- Raagi (millet) flour
- Water
- Salt
- Oil or ghee (clarified butter)
- Optional: Chopped vegetables (such as spinach, carrots, or onions) for added flavour and nutrition
Instructions:
- Preparation:
- In a mixing bowl, add Raagi flour and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add water while kneading the flour to form a smooth and pliable dough. The dough should be soft but not too sticky.
- Divide and Roll:
- Divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls.
- Take a dough ball and flatten it slightly between your palms.
- Place the flattened dough ball on a clean, flat surface dusted with Raagi flour.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a thin, round roti. Add more flour if needed to prevent sticking.
- Cooking:
- Heat a non-stick tawa over medium heat.
- Carefully transfer the rolled-out roti onto the hot skillet.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes on one side until you see bubbles forming.
- Flip the roti and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
- Brush the cooked roti with oil or ghee for added flavour and moisture.
- Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
- Serve:
- Serve the Raagi roti hot with your favourite curry, chutney, or yoghurt.
Optional Additions:
- To enhance the flavor and nutritional value of your Raagi roti, consider adding finely chopped vegetables like spinach, carrots, or onions to the dough mixture before rolling out the roti.
Cook's Tip: For best results, ensure the skillet or tawa is adequately heated before cooking each roti. This helps in achieving the perfect texture and prevents sticking.
