Wheat and Ragi paratha - Preparation time 2 hrs
Let us start the week healthy. Last week i thought of making ragi paratha. Usually when we use ragi alone the output might be hard and dry so to make the paratha soft i tried taking 3/4th portion of wheat flour and 1/4th portion of ragi flour. Actually the paratha/chapathi come out well and soft. We consumed hot and straight from tawa so it was good it wont be very soft when it is cool.
Health benefits
As my doctor friend suggested to take ragi more to bring up the vitamin level (b12) up i am thinking different ways to include in our diet. I already gave the ragi dosa recipe in this blog. This is also good for bone. So you can include this partha/chapathi in your weekly menu.
Ingredients:-
Wheat flour - 3/4 cup
Salt - as required
Ragi - 1/4 cup
Water - to make soft dough
Sundrop/vegetable oil - 2 tbsp
Preparation method:-
In a mixing bowl add wheat flour, ragi flour, salt and 1 tbsp oil. Mix all the ingredients well and add required amount of water to make soft dough for paratha.
You have to keep crushing the dough so it will become smooth dough.
Leave the dough to rest for 2 hrs. Make small balls from the dough and spread using rolling pin to paratha's. You can try even immediately but chapathi's will be slightly hard.
It is a healthy paratha (use of oil to cook the chapathi is very less). For this i made manja pattani gravy (dry yellow pea gram gravy)
