Ingredients

1/2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
1/4 cup finely grated onions
1/2 cup finely chopped colocasia leaves
2 tsp coriander-cumin seeds powder
1/2 tsp chilli powder
2 pinches turmeric powder (haldi)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup ragi / nachni flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
1 tbsp oil

Other Ingredients
whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta) for rolling
1 1/2 tsp oil for cooking

Method

Heat the oil in a kadhai and add the cumin seeds.
When the seeds crackle, add the onions and sauté on a medium flame till the onions turn translucent.
Add the colocasia leaves and sauté for another minute.
Add the coriander-cumin seeds powder, chilli powder, turmeric powder and salt and mix well. Cook on a medium flame for 5 -7 minutes. Sprinkle little water to prevent the masala from burning.
Remove from the flame and cool completely.
Add the remaining ingredients to the cooled mixture and make a stiff dough by adding enough water.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll out each portion into a circle of 125 mm. (5") diameter with the help of a little flour.
Cook each roti on a non-stick pan, using 1\4 tsp of oil, till both sides are golden brown in colour.
Repeat with the remaining dough to make 3 more rotis. Serve hot.
