Finger Millet (Ragi) Roti
Description
Ragi Roti, a nutritious and flavorful flatbread, is a popular dish in South India made from ragi flour (finger millet). Packed with calcium, iron, and dietary fiber, it is a healthy alternative to wheat-based rotis, particularly beneficial for those managing diabetes or looking to incorporate wholesome grains into their diet. Ragi Roti is typically prepared by kneading ragi flour with water, chopped vegetables, spices, and herbs to form a soft dough, which is then patted into thin discs and cooked on a hot skillet. Served with chutneys, yogurt, or curries, this gluten-free delicacy is both satisfying and nourishing, making it a great choice for any meal of the day.
