Add the water and pinch of salt to a pan and let it boil.

As the water boils up, add the nachni or Ragi flour to it and lower the flame and cover with a lid.

Let it cook on low flame for a minute and then switch off the gas.

Let it sit for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, open the lid and start mixing the dough using a wooden spoon. I prefer using a silicone spatula as the mixture doesn't stick to it at all.

Firmly mix the flour,

As you mix the flour and it comes together, the temperature of the mixture will drop. Now you can knead the dough with your hands. Rub the ghee on your hand and start kneading to make the dough soft and pliable. Let the dough rest. Keep it covered while it rests.

Once it is room temperature you can now roll your rotis. This makes six rotis.

Roll the roti and keep the girdle at high for the first roti throughout.

Add the roti to the tawa and you will see small bubbles forming. This is the time to flip over the roti.

Flip it now for the second and the last time and let it cook for a few seconds and take it off the heat

Next roti onwards when you add the roti to the tawa keep it on low flame. First, flip change it to high and keep it high throughout.

Optionally you can add some cumin powder, coriander powder, red chilies powder Chaat masala to make a masala roti for breakfast or snack.
