NACHNI RAVA ROTI



Rotis or flat bread it is known as is part of Indian Food.  Now it has become a part of the food in certain foreign countries too. Of course, wherever, Indians are there, there has to be a restaurant somewhere.

We make various types of rotis.  I wanted to try the rava roti since long as I was bored of making the usual ones and the dished made out of rava viz. upma, kesari, sheera, uttappam, pongal etc.

It is an easy preparation and very tasty too for breakfast or dinner or lunch.  To enhance the taste of it, I added the kalathu podi in it and it was awesome.  Since I liked the taste of it, I tried it with bit nachni i.e. ragi and that too was very tasty.

Let us look at the recipe now:
