Rotti is a popular breakfast recipe from Karnataka which is made with rice flour called akki rotti. This recipe is an adaptation of akki rotti but made with bajra and ragi flour.

Bajra also called as pearl millet is loaded with nutrious values. Bajra helps lower the bad chloestrol in your body. It has a good amount of fiber and aids digestion. It’s an amazing grain to incorporate in your diet.

Ragi (finger millet or nachni in hindi) is my absolute favorite millet and is loaded with nutritional benefits. Its rich in vitamin d, fibre, calcium and helps in weight loss, control diabetes.  ragi mudde and ragi ganji are some of the well know and popular recipes.

How to make Bajra Ragi Rotti-

I have combined equal amounts of bajra and ragi with a good amount of onion, green chilly, cumin, coriander, little tamarind water, some jaggery, almond powder, lots of freshly chopped coriander leaves and salt. Combine all these ingredients with some hot water and make the rotti.

Its super filling and makes you feel good.

Few tips to making a tasty bajra ragi rotti-

Add a good amount of onion ( you can see in the picture below), onion makes the rotti tasty and keeps it soft for long time.

Dont add red chilly pwoder, green chili works best for rotti, so dont skip it.

Millets can be bland, addition of jaggery and tamarind water gives the much-needed tang and sweetness to the rotti.

Almond powder can be replaced with peanut powder.

Serve the rotti with yogurt and pickle of your choice.

4. Add the tamarind water and now slowly add the hot water and make a soft dough.

5. The dough should be very similar to Akki rotti/ Rice flour rotti dough. Cover and set a side for twenty minutes. 

6. Smother the pan with oil, this helps the rotti from not sticking in the pan. Take a handful of dough and try spreading it evenly to form a flat disc.      

7.While spreading the dough, dip your hands in a bowl of water, this helps the dough from not sticking the hands and also helps in spreading the dough evenly.  

8. Pour a tsp of oil around the rotti, cover and cook on both sides till the rotti turns golden brown in color.    

9. Alternatively, you can also use a greased banana leaf or a parchment paper to make the rotti.

10. Spread some oil on the parchment paper and spread the dough . Drop the sheet upside down and cook for few seconds and gently remove the sheet. Finish cooking the rotti on both sides

11.  Repeat with the rest of the dough.
