eating and staying healthy is everyone’s priority

so let’s see how we can make an easy and different way of making ragi and jowar rotis

HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY AND EASY RAGI AND JOWAR ROTIS

INTRODUCTION

before i used to buy branded jowar and ragi powder and mix it with wheat atta or powder and make chapatis out of it

but that was not suiting my tummy. maybe the unfiltered fibre in the powder was disturbing my stomach lining

and people with iBS problem have more of this problem

but i wanted to include millets in my diet and i also didn’t want to buy to ready made millets powder

it was then that i just experimented with this technique that i am going to share with you and which i still continue making it

so i wanted to share it here for the benefit of all my friends

making chapatis from only ragi and jowar is not liked by family members

so i had to find a way out to include millets in the diet which would liked by everybody

PROCEDURE TO MAKE THE JOWAR/RAGI CHAPATI

1. I soaked one bowl of whole jowar or ragi whichever you prefer overnight

or sometimes i soak them in the morning for 3 to 4 hours. anything convenient can suffice

2. then i remove the soaked water and grind the grains well in the mixer along with little water

3. now strain the liquid through a strainer and again blend the remaining residue you get after straining so that you get the maximum out of the millets and strain it again

4. the pulp or the liquid you get is pure jowar/ragi liquid

5. add the required amount of wheat flour to bind it to a dough and make soft rotis out of it

6. add ghee to the rotis so that they remain softer. this process is very simple and easy to make and healthy and good to taste as well

at least we are sure that we are consuming pURE ragi and jowar unlike the readymade powders

you can make this liquid and keep it in fridge for maximum two days if required

when using it, take it out and heat it a bit so that it becomes lukewarm before adding the wheat flour so that chapati doesn’t become hard.. i usually do it in this manner..

2. it regulates diabetes, has immense amount of calcium, iron, phosphorus, sodium which fortifies bones, strengthens immunity and keep diseases at bay

3. it improves your gut health as it is gluten free and averts bloating, constipation, flatulence, indigestion and gastrointestinal woes

BENEFITS OF RAGI

1. Ragi or finger millet or nachni is loaded with variety of macro and micro nutrients, essential fats, proteins, minerals and vitamins

2. all in all ragi is termed as superfood. ragi also contains phosphorus and calcium

3. it is rich in iron and loaded in anti oxidants which helps your body to fight against free radicals and thus slow down the aging process
