Roll the Roti:
Once the dough has rested, divide it into small equal-sized portions. Lightly dust your rolling surface with flour, then take one portion of the dough and roll it out into a flat, round roti, approximately 6 to 8 inches in diameter. -
Cook the Roti:
Heat a skillet or tawa over medium heat and grease it lightly with a small amount of oil or ghee. Once the tawa is hot, place the rolled-out roti onto the skillet. Cook the roti for a couple of minutes until small bubbles start to appear on the surface.Flip the roti over and add a small amount of ghee or oil along the edges. Allow it to cook for another 2-3 minutes on this side until it becomes golden brown and slightly crispy. Flip again, if needed, to ensure it cooks evenly.

Serve:
Once the Drumstick Leaves Ragi Roti is cooked, remove it from the tawa and place it on a serving plate. Smear a little more ghee if desired for extra flavor. Repeat the same process for the remaining dough portions.This flavorful, nutritious roti is best enjoyed hot, straight from the skillet. Pair it with Mango Chutney and Homemade Yogurt for a wholesome breakfast, or serve with Dal Kabila or Bharwa Karela Makhani for a hearty, diabetic-friendly meal.
Additional Tips:
- For Extra Flavor: You can add some cumin seeds or ajwain (carom seeds) to the dough for a deeper flavor.
- Variations: For a spicier roti, feel free to adjust the quantity of green chillies as per your preference.
