Equipment
- OTG
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Fingermillet flour
- 1/4 cup Wheat flour
- 1 tsp Red chilli powder
- 2 tsp Mixed Italian herbs
- As req Salt
Instructions
- In a bowl add fingermillet flour/Ragi flour, wheat flour, red chilli powder, mixed Italian herbs, salt .
- Mix all the dry ingredients well with hands.
- Add water slowly to make it to a dough.
- Donot add water at one stretch as it will make the dough very sticky and watery.
- The right consistency of the dough is important to get the perfect crisps.
- Once the dough is ready, sprinkle wheat flour on the working area.
- Divide the dough into two parts.
- Take one part and roll it out like we make chappathi. While rolling out make sure the thickness of the roti is even.
- It should neither be too thick nor too thin. If it is too thick it will not become crispy and if it is too thin it will turn black soon.
- After rolling out, cut it with a samosa cutter/pizza cutter/knife.
- Line the baking tray with butter paper or parchment paper and line it with oil.
- Arrange the ragi slices on the tray.
- Pre-heat the oven at 150 degree celsius for 3 minutes.
- Bake the ragi crisps at 150 degree celsius for 10 minutes on one side , flip and bake on the other side for 10 minutes.
- Do check in between since the temperature and timing varies from oven to oven.
- Once done, remove it from oven, cool and store it in an air-tight container.
- Serve it with tea and coffee.
