Being an excellent source of natural calcium, it helps in strengthening bones for growing children and aging people.

Presence of fiber in Ragi, helps in controlling blood sugar levels in diabetes. Also fiber gives a feeling of fullness, which controls excessive food consumption and helps in controlling weight. It has more fiber than rice and wheat.

Ragi is a very good source of natural iron. For those suffering from anemia, consuming ragi can be really beneficial.

Now when it’s so good for health lets quickly see the recipe…Have it in breakfast or brunch or lunch or dinner…!!!

Ingredients

Ragi Flour – 2 cups

Carrot – 1 medium size (finely grated)

Onion – 1 medium size (finely chopped)

Green Chilli – 1 (finely cut)

Salt – as per taste

Water – to prepare the dough

Preparation

Take the sifted flour in a big bowl, mix all the ingredients very well and prepare the dough by putting water, little by little. The dough should not be very soft.

Cut two plastic sheets (preferably transparent or white) in a round shape of a diameter of about 8 inches.

Divide the prepared dough into 6 equal sized balls.

Method

Grease the plastic sheets with little oil. (This is done to prevent the roti from sticking on the sheet). Put a ball in between the plastic sheets with the greased part inside and roll it like a roti with a very soft hand with a rolling pin. Don’t make it very thin.

Heat the tawa/flat pan. Remove the above sheet slowly and place the other sheet on your hand with the roti facing your hand. Now slowly remove the top sheet and place the roti on hot tawa.

Cook it on tawa by putting little oil/ghee on both sides.

Ragi paratha is ready to be served with raita/chutney/pickle/sauce.
