Recipe: Ragi Rotti Ragi Rotti is a delicious, easy to make, gluten free and vegan flatbread. While I love to have it with some pickle and plain yogurt, one can enjoy it some sambar, lentil curry or vegetable stew. Enjoy it hot for breakfast or as a part of your main meal. Makes an ideal lunchbox item as cold ragi rotti tastes equally good. While I have added chopped onion and grated carrot, one can add any vegetable of their choice.
