How To Prepare Traditional Soft Ragi (Finger Millet) Roti Recipe
Traditional Ragi Rotis are the hallmarks of the southern culture and culinary tradition. Easy on the pocket and good on the gut, they have innumerable health benefits. They double up as a perfect gluten-free substitute for wheat rotis.
Millet bread is a bit difficult to roll, but with time and patience, you can roll out soft and malleable chapatis. Since they are basically about the sustained release of sugar slowly into the bloodstream unlike their wheat counterparts, they are considered an ideal diabetic food, especially for those who have just developed diabetes. They contain an amino acid not found in other cereals, namely Methionine which makes Ragi a complete protein food, unlike other cereals. Check out the Soft Ragi (Finger Millet) Roti recipe here.
