Ragi aloo methi paratha | millet recipes- Healthy and tasty aloo methi paratha recipe – Soft aloo paratha with ragi and wheat flour – No onion no garlic recipes Jeyashris kitchen

Ragi also called Kezhvaragu in Tamil | Finger millet in English, is an easily available millet everywhere. Generally, my mom makes puttu with ragi and also dosai and adai too. Though I have tried these all, wanted to try something new with ragi flour. This ragi aloo methi paratha I have tried for the mangayar malar book. Ragi is an excellent source of calcium and very good for diabetics. It is a very good source of iron too. You can make this as a stuffed aloo paratha too.

Notes

  1. The ratio of 1:1 of ragi and wheat flour worked out well for me.
  2. If you feel it is difficult to roll add 1 to 2 tbsp extra flour while kneading.
  3. You can add mint leaves also and ajwain seeds to the dough.
  4. Potato makes the dough softer and easy to roll too.
  5. You make into small thick parathas too.
  6. You can actually fry this as a poori too for kids.
  7. Ragi aloo methi paratha pairs well with any raita of your choice

  1. Can we add fresh drumstick leaves to the dough? Should we saute the leaves a bit and then add to get rid of the raw smell?
