Taste bhi, health bhi! Really! This sumptuous Ragi Roti is rich in calcium and protein, which are required to support our bones and maintain the cells in our body respectively.

With the mild tanginess of curds, spicy notes of green chillies and the exciting crunch of grated carrot and spring onions, these rotis are also very delicious.

You should be able to roll these rotis comfortably with a little flour for dusting. But, if you find it difficult, you can place the dough portions between two plastic sheets dusted with ragi flour and roll, so it will be easier.

Also, take care to use flat tongs as these rotis are soft and brittle, with a tendency to tear easily. Serve hot off the flame for a satiating and earthy meal!
