In India my mom used to substitute pudhina with Murungai Keerae ( Moringa oleifera ). It used to be very very tasty and its very healthy too. Since we don't generally find it here I used pudhina.

Method

Sieve ragi flour and rice flour. Transfer it to a bowl. Add the chopped onions, green chillies , pudhina to it. Now add salt and knead with hot water. Add little water at a time. Make a soft dough out of it. Next divide it into 4 balls. Apply a drop of oil in each ball and keep it aside.

Now heat Tava or Griddle. Dribble oil in it.

As shown in the above figure take a plastic sheet or banana leaf and apply oil to it. Place a ball and roll it with the finger to a medium thin roti. Transfer this roti slowly to the tava. Dribble oil round the boundaries and leave it to cook for few minutes then turn it and leave it to cook for some more time and set aside. Repeat the same for other balls.

This dish should be served with Coconut chutney. Ur healthy and tasty snack is ready to serve.

Coconut chutney recipe is there in my chutney section for reference.
