If you’re on the lookout for a nutrient-packed, easy-to-make breakfast or snack, this Ragi Drumstick Leaves Roti is the perfect recipe for you! It’s part of our Millet Magic series and combines the goodness of ragi (finger millet) and drumstick leaves (moringa) – both rich in essential nutrients and incredibly beneficial for overall health.
Why This Combo is Magic:
- Ragi is loaded with iron, calcium, and fiber, and is a super grain that helps build bones, boost hemoglobin, and manage blood sugar levels.
- Drumstick Leaves (Moringa) are one of the most nutrient-dense greens, packed with vitamin A, iron, antioxidants, and detoxifying agents.
Ingredients:
- Ragi Flour – 2 cups
- Fresh Drumstick Leaves – 2 cups
- Green Chilies – 4
- Onions – 2 (medium)
- Curry Leaves – few
- Salt – as required
- Oil – for sautéing and cooking
- Water – to knead
Method:
- Chop green chilies, onions, and curry leaves finely (we used a Borosil chopper for ease).
- Sauté the chopped mix in oil with salt for 2 minutes.
- Add the drumstick leaves and cook till they shrink.
- Mix in the ragi flour and stir for a few seconds.
- Let it cool, then add water and knead a sticky dough.
- Grease a plastic sheet, tap rotis from dough balls, and make a small hole in the center.
- Cook on a hot tawa preferably cast iron with oil until both sides are done.
- Serve hot with chutney or curd.
Health Benefits:
- Iron boost for anemic conditions
