Recipe
1
Roast the tomatoes directly over an open flame until the skin is charred and the inside is completely soft.
2
Peel the charred skin off the tomatoes and mash them thoroughly in a bowl.
3
Mix the chopped onions, minced garlic, green chilies, coriander leaves, raw mustard oil, and salt into the mashed tomatoes to make the chokha; set aside.
4
Boil the water with a pinch of salt and gradually stir in the finger millet flour to form a cohesive dough.
5
Cover and let the dough rest for ten minutes until cool enough to handle.
6
Divide the dough into equal portions, dust with dry ragi flour, and roll out into thick circles.
7
Cook each roti on a hot tawa on medium heat until golden brown spots appear on both sides.
8
Serve the hot madua rotis immediately alongside the spicy tomato chokha.
