Ragi is used widely in Karnataka in various forms like porridge , ragi mudde , ragi dosa and most frequently made item is the Ragi Roti. I have already posted  detailed video on Akki Roti which is also a  very famous and staple breakfast in Karnataka.  This ragi rotti also follows the same steps for preparation.

A sumptuous and filling breakfast to keep you filled up for 4-5 hours easily.
It is served with some fresh ghee and jaggery . Those who follow Veganism can omit the ghee and may use chutney or any pickle as a side dish

Preparation Time : 20 mins
Cooking Time : 3 mins per rotti
Complexity: medium
Makes 4-5 rottis



Ingredients
2 cups ragi flour
1/2 cup fresh grated coconut
2-3 green chillies finely chopped
Curry leaves finely chopped
Coriander leaves chopped
1 tsp jeera / cumin
Salt as needed
Asafoetida

Method

How to knead the dough ?


  • In a wide mixing bowl , add the jeera,coconut,green  chillies, salt , curry leaves,coriander and asafoetida with a little salt and mix it well with your finger until the coconut releases its juices and all the ingredients blend well to release their flavor. 
  • Add the ragi flour to this coconut mixture and knead a soft dough using water little by little . 
  • Let the dough rest for a 5-10 mins


How to pat  and cook the rotti ?



  • Make equal sized balls from the dough and keep them ready.
  • Grease a thick tava/pan with oil .
  • Take one portion of the dough and start patting with your fingers on the tava,starting from the center.  Wet your palm for ease of patting .
  • Make some holes on the roti and drizzle oil onto it and place it on medium flame and cook covered for 1 min.
  • Carefully flip it over and cook the other side also until well done .
  • Take it off the tava and serve hot .
Note : finely chopped onions may also be added to the dough while kneading.

  2. Love ragi roti but haven't tried it the way you make it Priya. Like the addition of coconut and curry leaves. And that generous topping of ghee makes it so tempting. Will have to try out your recipe.

  12. It has been ages since I've made ragi roti. Last time I made them was when I was in Bangalore. Miss having it with yogurt. Your ragi rotti is perfectly made and so tempting with the ghee on top.
