  • ½ cup Ragi flour Finger millet flour
  • ¾ cup Water
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Oil

Instructions

Make Ragi dough

  • Bring ¾ cup water to boil firstly, with salt and a teaspoon of oil.
  • Once it comes to rolling boil, then add the ragi flour in low flame.
  • Mix furthermore to cook it without any dry flour seen. You have to be quick. Use a spatula to mix like as if you are kneading the dough.
  • Once you get a smooth dough, keep covered until cool enough to handle. Do not let it rest too long to cool completely.
  • Knead well to smoothen furthermore.
  • Then, divide into equal size balls and keep them covered always.

Make Ragi chapathi

  • Take a ball and dust with little dry ragi flour. Flatten and again spread with dusting couple of times as you do.
  • Be gentle and dust when needed. Spread to a thin chapati.
  • Heat a tawa and transfer the spread chapati. Cook for 30-40 seconds in medium flame.
  • After that, flip and cook by gently pressing with a spatula or towel if needed.
  • You can cook it completely over tawa or transfer to direct flame to puff it.
  • Once done, smear with ghee if desired and place in hot pack. Repeat to finish all.

Notes

  • Though we knead the dough, it is important to knead the rolled balls each time smoothly before spreading. This helps perfect circles.
