Ragi Chapathi – This recipe is fully done with Finger millet and it is really so soft. I always love nutty flavour of finger millet. I used to make Ragi Roti. For Ragi Roti you can find the recipe here. Please refer to notes for making real soft chapathi with Ragi.
I learnt this from my parttime helper. I have seen few posts in my insta feed but very skeptical especially when I see it as full ragi based chapathi. But when my helper did this I loved it. She made this around 11 AM and stayed soft till my dinner time around 7 PM. So this is perfect for lunch box too. Ragi is good for diabetic patients.
Ragi chapathi is one of the Favourite south Indian dish especially for the dinner, Ragi has a very high protein and it helps to prevent diabetes. Ragi chapathi is easy to make and easy to digest as well.
