Ragi Roti is a traditional Indian flatbread that's a healthy, whole-grain staple of everyday meals. This simple vegetarian bread is low in calories and the perfect family dinner accompaniment to any curry.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ragi flour, salt, chopped onions, grated carrot, cilantro, green chili, and cumin seeds thoroughly for even distribution.
Gradually add water while mixing to form a soft dough; use your hands to ensure the mixture holds together without cracks.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a ball, covering them with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
Place a dough ball between two parchment sheets or on a lightly oiled surface, then gently pat and flatten with your fingers into a thin, even circle about 6 inches across.
Heat a skillet over medium heat; transfer a roti onto the skillet, cook for 1-2 minutes until small bubbles appear, then brush lightly with oil, flip, and cook another 1-2 minutes until both sides develop golden brown spots.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough, adjusting heat as required to prevent burning, and keep finished rotis covered to retain moisture until serving.
