Breakfast according to me is one of the most exciting meals. My father
always enjoys his breakfast and this gene has been passed on. I make
this dish when I have to myself a lazy Sunday morning. The dish is very
simple and very flexible as well ( like most of my dishes). You could make numerous modifications
to it. Here is my basic recipe.
Ingredients
Ragi flour : two cups
Cumin: 2 teaspoons
Grated coconut : one fourth a cup
Dill leaves : half a cup
Chopped onion : one fourth a cup
Grated carrot : optional
Chopped green chillies: 2 tablespoons you could add more if you like it
spicy
Water to make the dough
Method
Crush cumin gently with your hands and add it to a bowl. To it add the flour
Now add salt and all the other ingredients except for water
Once all the ingredients are mixed uniformly add water and knead the
dough/batter
Heads up : the batter/Dough is going to be wet or rather slightly semi
solid. Frankly there is no correct consistency as long as the concoction
is not too wet or too dry
For making the roti I use a thin tava. Do not place it on the stove ,
instead spread oil and pat the roti by hand to make a thin roti. Once flattened out put the tawa/griddle on the stove and let it cook on one side
Once cooked turn over the other side
Serve hot with a tangy chutney
Note : The roti is very filling so plan accordingly. Remenber to cool
down the tawa before making the next roti or else it will stick to the
tava. I just run the tava under hot water to cool it down.
