SEME BADANEKAYI RAGI ROTTI/CHAYOTE SQUASH FINGER MILLET FLOUR ROTTI
I always look forward to include more and more ragi in our diet, that too in its whole form. But today’s recipe is made by using ragi flour. Just one more kind of variation in making ragi rotti by adding grated vegetable and this time it is chayote squash or seeme badanekayi or chow chow. Chayote is high in fiber making it good for digestion. It is rich in Potassium, Vitamin C, B complex vitamins. It is low in calorie. Fiber rich, healthy, tasty rotti recipe, which can be packed for lunch box as well. The recipe also contains a good amount of white sesame seeds, which again adds to our health. I make plain ragi rotti , onion ragi rotti , beetroot ragi rotti , carrot ragi rotti and also usage of grated radish, cooked potato, grated bottle gourd are on my mind, shall try sometime.
