Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Indian
Servings: 8 Chapathi
- ½ cup Ragi flour Finger millet flour
- ¾ cup Water
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Oil
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.
- Though we knead the dough, it is important to knead the rolled balls each time smoothly before spreading. This helps perfect circles.
