Multigrain Roti with Val Dhal gravy



Ingredients:

Ragi flour - 1 cup
Barley flour - 1 cup
Wheat flour - 1 cup
Salt - 1/2 tsp

Method:

Mix together all the flours and salt. Add water little by little and knead it into soft dough. Divide the dough into equal sized portions and press the dough alternatively with palm of your hands. Grease any polished surface (I used acrylic board) and stretch the dough further by using your palm of your hands slowly and steadily without breaking the circle. Remove the circle carefully and place it on a
hot tava. Cook both sides on a slow fire until brown spots appear on the surface.

Serve hot with your favorite gravy.
