Kezhvaragu Adai, a healthy tiffin item made from the finger millet flour and some indian spices which can be served as breakfast or as evening snacks. I have a vague memory of my mom making this ragi roti as evening snacks when i was in school. But in those days, I was not fond of anything that's healthy, so obviously I made a fuss to eat one or two bites of this Adai!
Years rolled by! Get interested in knowing about the nutritious value of various millets and then a health conscious mind always screams about the benefits of including finger millets in regular diet. You know once the mind is convinced then automatically the taste buds changes and started to like the foods that were hated like anything before.
Guess what, now the finger millet is an integral part of my cooking and I absolutely love it in any form like kali, porridge( koozh), puttu, dosai, idli and so on. If interested in knowing all the varieties, check out my collection here.
PS: Recently i have made a quick video on how to make ragi roti and shared it on IG. If interested, check it out here

Notes:
- If you wish, you can saute the onions and add it in.
- If you're using banana leaves, you can invert the flatten roti in the tava directly. Plastic cover sticks to the tava,so invert it in hand and then i placed it on tava.
- You can add grated carrot into this.
- It tastes best when it's hot or warm.
