Is Basic Ragi Roti Healthy?

Yes, Ragi Roti is super healthy. Made only of Ragi + ghee you cannot go wrong. What i like about this roti is that its made of pure ragi flour and that no other flour is added to it. Adding plain flour, rice flour or corn flour would make the recipe unhealthy. Lets understand the ingredients which go into it.

Ragi flour ( Nachni flour) : Ragi flour is high in protein and great source for vegetarians. In addition its gluten free, high in fiber which in turn is good for diabetics and a healthy heart.  Ragi flour creates a much lower surge in sugar levels compared to wheat.

Ghee : we have used only 1/2 tsp in the dough . Ghee is packed with Conjugated Linoleic acid (CLA) which has a lot of health benefits. Ghee is also loaded with butyrate which has proven to improve gut health.
