Ragi Roti is yet another delicious recipe from the healthy finger millets. The ragi roti recipe is quite popular across south India and good to eat during breakfasts. This ragi roti needs a bit of practice as the dough is not like wheat dough and it requires a little practice in making the chapati.
Therefore, I have included a video recipe to make this roti. The ingredients required to make this roti are very few and its good to eat this roti once in a while as a healthy option and it can be served with chutneys like beerakaya pachadi, onion tomato chutney, dosakaya chutney etc...
It is good to eat ragi recipes like ragi malt or ragi java , ragi dosa during summer as they are filling and keep us cool during summers. I would also like to update more of ragi recipes as I keep blogging and updating.

Finger millets are also called ragi/ragulu/nachani in different parts of India. Finger millets are quite popular in the region of Karnataka.

Notes
1.Do not heat the tawa when the roti is being spread on tawa and if done so there are chances of burning the fingers.
2. For the second roti reduce the temperature of the tawa fully and start making the ragi roti and then switch the stove on.
3.Greasing the tawa/gridle before making the roti is a must as the roti cannot be spread if the tawa is not greased well.
4.Always make sure the tawa should be cool before spreading the roti to avoid burning of fingers.
