An unusual but extremely nutritious roti made with a combination of ragi and wheat flours reinforced with low carbohydrate radish and its greens. The sharp and slightly bitter taste of the radish greens adds great value to the Radish Nachni Roti, further enhanced with sesame and roasted cumin seeds, which although added in small quantities impart a wonderful, lingering flavour and taunting aroma to the rotis. Remember to serve these rotis immediately for best texture; after a while it could become slightly stiff and not as enjoyable as when fresh!
