Rajgira Roti Recipe
Rajgira Roti – Learn how to prepare this gluten free roti
Rajgira Roti is a gluten free dish prepared using Amaranth/ Rajgira flour. Typically prepared during festivals like Navratri, Ekadashi, Mahashivratri, etc. it is these days not just restricted to fasts.
Rajgira is high in protein and fibre content. It is a good replacement to wheat atleast 2-3 times a week. It is a diabetic friendly recipe too. You can add different spice powders like coriander, cumin, chilly to make it a meal in itself. A rajgira roti with curds is a good breakfast option as well.
Sometimes, I cannot help but think that our ancestors quite scientifically planned our diets during festivals, leading to food consumed not just per the locale or season but also from staying fit point of view.
Since this flour is gluten free, working with the dough is a bit difficult. It will give some cracks at the ends, but its ok. Use good amount of dry flour when you roll the rotis. Also while rolling keep the size of Rotis medium (6 inches), roll a bit thick and keep closing the cracks while rolling.
If you have a bag of milk , then use it while rolling out the rotis. This method doesn’t call for extra flour.
You can serve it with paneer curry, raw banana curry, danyachi amti .
Sometimes I like to just savor it with a dollop of ghee or a bowl of curds.
I also use Rajgira seeds while preparing the energy bars.
Other favorites are Rajgira Dosa, Rajgira Ladoo, Rajgira Kheer and
