Pesto is a famous Italian sauce made with basil, nuts and garlic. While pine nuts are used in the original recipe, the results are equally awesome when walnuts are used instead.

Here, is a totally unique and innovative dish, in which hearty ragi rotis are stuffed with a succulent and flavour-packed mixture of paneer and pesto. The rotis are first cooked plain, then the mixture is placed inside, and the roti is folded, because it is difficult to roll ragi rotis with a stuffing inside, as is usually done with other rotis and parathas .

This method is easy to prepare and perfectly tasty too. Enjoy the Ragi Roti Stuffed with Paneer Pesto immediately upon preparation.

I have been trying ur nutritious recipes for a long time now. Just wanted you to check if palak and paneer can be eaten together. As palak doesn''t let calcium absorption happen..please check it thoroughly even i may be wrong

Tarla Dalal    It''s true that iron hinder calcium absorption, but only 4 spinach leaves have been used. Alternatively replace the spinach leaves with lettuce leaves.

Very healthy snack or meal to have as Ragi roti is far healthier than whole wheat roti and and paneer provides the protein. The pesto makes a great combo with Ragi and paneer. We just loved the roti and make it very often,. Great hit with the kids too.
