Whenever I prepare this juice I never add ice cubes or sugar to it. I always chill the watermelon slices by keeping it in the fridge for a few hours and then make the juice. Also, the fruit itself very sweet so that you don't need to add sugar. But if you like, you can add sugar.

Ragi Roti

Today I'm going to share a very easy recipe and my version of making ragi roti. Yes, it's very quick, and a very simple recipe and very very easy to make roti. It's a perfect breakfast recipe and its healthy too.

Ragi Roti


Ingredients :
  • 1 cup Ragi flour
  • 1 large Onion, finely chopped
  • 3 Green chilies, finely chopped
  • 2 handful of chopped Coriander leaves
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for smearing on Roti
Method:
  • In a large bowl mix all the ingredients except oil.
  • Add 1 to 2 cups of water and mix well.
  • The consistency should be very thick and slightly pourable.  ( i don't form a dough or balls out of ragi flour. Instead, I make thick consistency )
  • Heat a tawa / dosa pan. When hot add 1 ladle of thick batter on tawa and spread with hand to a round shape. Be careful of your fingers while making this.
  • Smear 1/2 tsp oil around the roti and cook in a low medium flame. Flip the roti and cook on the other side as well and also smear 1/4 tsp oil around the roti.
  • Serve hot with coconut chutney.
