Method

1. Combine the wheat, ragi, and besan flours in a bowl. Add the chopped spinach, grated carrot, ginger paste, garlic paste, green chilies, carom seeds, black cumin seeds, and salt.
2. Gradually add water and mix well to form a soft dough.
3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a small, round roti.
5. Place a roti on a hot tawa (griddle) and let it cook for a few seconds until small bubbles appear.
6. Flip the roti and cook until brown spots form on the underside.
7. Flip it one last time and gently press with a clean cloth to help it puff up. You can also puff the roti directly over an open flame.
8. Serve the rotis hot with your favorite pickle.

A perfect blend of health and flavor, one bite at a time.
