RAVA ROTI

Rotis or flat bread it is known as is part of Indian Food.  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 dishes  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.  here is the link for nachni rava roti.

Let us look at the recipe now:
