Ragi Aloo Roti

BM #68 Day 18 - 

During the course of this month, I realized that getting the kids to eat Ragi is a tough job with a few exceptions. My older one is a little better at adapting to Ragi. She said if there is potato in there I am ready to try. She doesn't know that the brownies which I made a few days earlier had Ragi in it. She just thinks that it is a brownie with bananas in it :).

Since these rotis have potato in them, no complaints from either the dad or the older one.

Recipe Source various sources on the web
Ingredients - 

Ragi Flour 3/4 cup
Wheat Flour 1/2 cup
Potato, peeled, boiled and mashed 3/4 cup (1 big potato)
Salt, Green chili paste as needed
Ginger-garlic paste 1 tsp
Garam Masala 1 tsp
Chaat Masala 1/2 tsp
Ajwain / Vaamu 1 tsp

Method Of Preparation -


In a mixing bowl, add all the spices to the mashed potato and mix well.

Add in the flours and mix well. Pour hot water as needed to knead it into a soft dough.

Cover and set aside.

Divide the dough into 6 portions (about a big lemon size). 

I tried to roll it traditionally using a rolling pin but it wasn't holding up. So I used a tortilla press / puri press and flattened the dough portion between greased plastic sheets.

I made them slightly thick.

Heat a griddle / tawa. Gently transfer the flattened roti onto the hot tawa.

Cook on both sides spraying as much oil as needed.

Remove into a insulated container. Repeat until the dough is used up.

Serve with pickle/yogurt or gravy as preferred.

  1. Well kids will eat what they like, if we sneak in those ingredients in the dishes that they like they will eat happily..the parathas are a healthy variation with potatao.
