Ingredients
- 1 cup fenugreek/methi or dill leaves chopped
- 1 cup of mashed mixed vegetables, bottle gourd, sweet potato
- ½ cup ragi flour
- ½ tsp turmeric powder
- pinch of asafoetida/hing
- ½ tsp ginger-chili paste.
- A2 organic ghee for greasing
Instructions

- Heat the tawa and cook your roti until done.
- Grease with ghee at the end. Serve.
Power tip:
- We can add chopped mint leaves jeera, ajwain, or powdered fennel for more taste.
- Use water only as per requirement. Using too much water makes the dough stickier and hampers the taste too.
Notes
- You can replace ragi with jowar or amaranth flour too.
- The wonder grain ragi is loaded with fiber, calcium, amino acids, and vitamin D.
- Adding fenugreek or dill leaves can provide relief from hiccups, dysentery, and menstrual and respiratory disorders, too.
- Antioxidants, mainly tryptophan and amino acids, present in ragi serve as natural relaxants.
